Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that I communicate to you the upcoming Special Issue “Dental Implantology: Clinical Updates and Perspectives”.

Dental implantology has significantly evolved over the past decades, transforming the landscape of oral rehabilitation. From its early innovations to modern techniques, the field has continuously advanced, improving patient outcomes and setting new standards in dental care. This Special Issue aims to comprehensively overview the latest clinical updates and future perspectives in dental implantology. It seeks to highlight cutting-edge research, clinical practices, and technological advancements that are shaping the future of implantology.

This issue will feature pioneering studies that explore novel implant materials, surgical techniques, and long-term outcomes. Research that bridges the gap between clinical practice and innovation is emphasized, offering new insights into patient care and treatment efficacy.

We invite submissions of original research articles, systematic reviews, clinical case reports, and short communications. Papers that present innovative approaches, rigorous clinical studies, and interdisciplinary perspectives in dental implantology are particularly welcomed.

Dr. Roberta Gasparro
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background: The malar bone provides an anchorage point for zygomatic implants, avoiding invasive reconstructive surgeries in the fixed rehabilitation of fully edentulous and severely atrophic maxillae. The limited bone volume, however, requires precise implant placement to prevent complications related to nearby anatomical structures. This observational cross-sectional study aims to measure the malar and zygomatic arch bones and their distances from critical anatomical landmarks to guide surgeons in safe zygomatic implant placement. Methods: Dissections were performed bilaterally on 29 heads from human donated bodies in a cross-sectional observational study. Key landmarks evaluated include the infraorbital foramen (IF), pyriform nasal aperture (PNA), infraorbital margin (IM), zygomaticofacial foramen (ZFF), anterior end (A), and the most protruding point of the zygomatic arch (B). Measurements included IF-PNA, IF-IM, IF-ZFF, ZFF-IM, A-B, and orbital floor depth (OFD). Results: Significant findings showed IF-PNA was greater in males (18.66 ± 2.63 mm, p = 0.001), and IF-ZFF varied between sides (26.72 ± 8.7 mm, p = 0.002). ZFF-IM was larger in males (7.43 ± 2.09 mm, p < 0.001). Heights and thicknesses were also assessed, with significant side differences observed. Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of understanding precise anatomical distances for successful implant placement. The study provides essential data to enhance surgical planning and training, ensuring safer procedures and minimizing the risk of complications. Full article
