Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dental implants had been a widely accepted treatment modality for fully or partially edentulous patients in recent years improving function, esthetics, and stability. Nowadays, several developments in dental implants have occurred. There are several key factors for the long-term success of implants as proper selection of the implanted biomaterial, surface roughness, and coating. Titanium dental implants have been widely used in clinical applications due to their advantages. More recently, several other biomaterials have been introduced as zirconia and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) because of their physical and mechanical properties being close to that of bone. Surface modification of dental implants by physical, chemical, and biological means could improve the success rate of dental implants and meet the clinician's requirements. The success and survival of dental implant have been reported to be very high in healthy patients, while it is debatable whether dental implants are a preferred solution in medically compromised patients.

This Special Issue encourages researchers and clinicians to submit original research articles, technical notes, review articles, and systematic reviews that address the update on oral implantology and related surgeries.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  1. Biomaterials in the fabrication of dental implants.
  2. The development in implant designs, surface modifications and coatings.
  3. The most recent surgical techniques and protocols for dental implant osteotomy.
  4. Sinus lifting in association with dental implants.
  5. Custom implants using three-dimensional (3D) printing.
  6. Zygomatic implants.
  7. TMJ implants.
  8. Ridge splitting.
  9. Orthognathic surgery for implant placement.
  10. Distraction osteogenesis for dental implants.
  11. Strategies in the application of dental implants in medically compromised patients suffering from local or systemic diseases interfering with implant surgery with special concern to medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) as one of those recent diseases.

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. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background and Objectives: Maintenance of a firm and long-term stable osseointegration is the primary goal of implant dentistry. Time is used to define implant failure characteristics. Early implant failure (EIF) occurs up to one year after loading. Recent studies indicated an association between proton pump inhibitors (PPI) therapy and failure of osseointegration. The present study assessed whether the use of PPIs is a risk factor to EIF. Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort study including 687 patients and 2971 dental implants. The study group (PPIs users) comprised 17.3% (119) individuals and 18.7% (555) implants. The remaining cohort (82.7% (568) individuals and 81.3% (2416) implants) served as control. The information was taken from the patients’ files. The following information was collected: age, gender, physical status, systemic diseases, HbA1C values before and after implant-supported prosthesis delivery in cases of diabetes mellitus, smoking, implant location, number of implants per individual, bone augmentation, implant brand, length and width, and EIF. EIF was defined as implant removal within a period of up to 12 months from loading. Results: EIF in PPIs vs. non-PPIs users was 19.3% vs. 14.3% (p = 0.16) at patient level and 5.4% vs. 3.5% at implant level (p = 0.03). Univariate analysis yielded factors significantly associated with PPIs use, including older age, physical status of the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) 3, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, cardiovascular accident (CVA), location (anterior mandible), shorter and narrower implants, and higher number of implants per individual. Multivariate analysis yielded statistically significant OR of 1.91; p = 0.01 for EIF following PPIs use and 2.3; p < 0.001 for location in anterior mandible. Conclusions: Patients and their healthcare providers are advised to carefully consider the potential risks of taking PPIs prior to dental implant surgery. Further research is needed to confirm these risks and elucidate systemic and local factors that may be involved in such outcomes. Full article
