Abstract Objectives This systematic review investigated the efficacy of biologic factors in the surgical treatment of periodontal suprabony defects. Materials and Methods Three databases were searched to identify RCTs comparing open‐flap debridement (OFD) combined with biologic factors only, or combined with bone substitute, and/or barriers to the same

Emerging risk factors influencing the occurrence of peri‐implantitis
Abstract Background The objective of the present review is to explore the evidence and biological plausibility of factors that may expose dental implants to a greater likelihood of developing peri‐implantitis. Material and Methods An electronic screening on the PubMed library the was carried out to identify potential emerging factors that influence the

Bone biology in aging periodontal and peri‐implant tissues
Abstract Background Periodontal disease is an age‐related chronic inflammatory condition leading to tooth loss. Dental implants are an option for replacement of lost teeth in older adults. However, age‐related changes to alveolar bone may have pathological implications for its role in supporting the dentition and dental implants.
