Overview

Dental implant design encompasses the engineering principles, material selection, surgical techniques, and anatomical considerations that determine the success of implant-supported restorations. Research published in Dentistry and Oral Implants addresses multiple dimensions of this field, including bone augmentation strategies that prepare sites for implant placement, such as sinus lift procedures using lateral window techniques with hydroxyapatite and beta-tricalcium phosphate grafts, as well as calcium phosphosilicate putty as an alloplastic bioactive material. The journal has examined innovative surgical approaches like the socket shield technique for immediate implant placement and documented anatomical risk factors in the posterior maxilla that influence extraction-site implant success. Studies have explored the role of cone beam computed tomography versus orthopantomography in treatment planning for sinus augmentation, and digital planning methods for mini-implant supported devices in orthodontic applications. Clinical investigations include histologic evaluation of osseointegration in functioning implants and rehabilitation protocols for mandibular overdentures supported by two implants. This body of work reflects the multidisciplinary nature of implant dentistry, where biomaterial science, surgical precision, and diagnostic imaging converge to restore function and aesthetics in patients with missing teeth.
