Sinus lift in the posterior maxilla: When augmentation, when short implant?
Meta-analyses show no survival rate difference for short vs. standard implants with sinus lift in moderate maxillary atrophy (4-8mm). DDJ guides decisions based on this evidence.
Peri-implantitis Prevalence: What the numbers really say and where case definition makes a difference
Peri-implantitis rates vary by case definition, group studied, and care standards. DDJ reviews evidence across 5 clinical decision areas, not with one overall verdict.
Implant Success Rates: Why a Single Percentage Distorts Clinical Reality
Implant survival rates vary up to 14% based on endpoints, methods, and follow-up time. This article details these differences in clinical decision-making.
Supportive periimplant therapy: What the evidence really supports for aftercare
Local studies consistently show structured support therapy reduces peri-implantitis and implant loss. Conclusion strength is moderate; variability in timing, tools, and add-ons remains uncertain.
Peri-implantitis Therapy: Evidence-Based Escalation Logic from Biofilm Control to Surgical Intervention
DDJ finds strong evidence for treating peri-implantitis, guiding care across 5 key areas: initial treatment, surgery, adjunctive tech, antibiotics, and aftercare.
Re-Implantation After Implant Loss: Survival Rates, Risk Factors, and Alternatives
Evidence for replantation at previously failed sites comes from four retrospective cohort studies. DDJ rates the conclusive strength as moderate, organizing results along three clinical decision axes.
Implant Prognosis with a History of Periodontitis: Risk Stratification Instead of Blanket Verdict
Periodontitis history raises implant/peri-implantitis risk, but doesn't preclude success with controlled periodontal status. Evidence is assessed across 5 clinical decision axes, not by a single ruling.
Implants vs. Bridges: Indications, Complication Spectrum, and Material Choice in Systematic Reviews
Local studies show high evidence for this. DDJ rates conclusiveness as moderate, focusing on 5 clinical areas: survival vs. complications, indications, materials, risk, and follow-up.
