    Bead-anchored surgical templates for static computer-assisted implant surgery: A dental technique
    (Wiley, 2022-10) Orgev, Ahmet; Pellerito, John; Polido, Waldemar; Morton, Dean; Lin, Wei-Shao; Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry
    This technique report describes an alternative method to stabilize surgical templates throughout full-arch static computer-assisted implant surgery (FA s-CAIS). In FA s-CAIS, remaining teeth, mucosa, existing implants, custom occlusal device, bone, or any combination thereof, could be used as an initial positioning mechanism to position surgical templates. Different anchoring mechanisms are then used to stabilize the surgical templates during surgery. In this report, a novel design of surgical templates using remaining dentition and opposing occlusal surfaces as initial positioning mechanism followed by the combination of bone block fixation screw and stainless-steel beads as secondary anchoring mechanisms is described. The advantages, limitations, and comparisons with surgical templates using other anchoring mechanisms are also discussed.

    Group 2 ITI Consensus Report: Prosthodontics and implant dentistry
    (Wiley, 2018-10) Morton, Dean; Gallucci, German; Lin, Wei-Shao; Pjetursson, Bjarni; Polido, Waldemar; Roehling, Stefan; Sailer, Irena; Aghaloo, Tara; Albera, Hugo; Bohner, Lauren; Braut, Vedrana; Buser, Daniel; Chen, Stephen; Dawson, Anthony; Eckert, Steven; Gahlert, Michael; Hamilton, Adam; Jaffin, Robert; Jarry, Christian; Karayazgan, Banu; Laine, Juhani; Martin, William; Rahman, Lira; Schlegel, Andreas; Shiota, Makato; Stilwell, Charlotte; Vorster, Christiaan; Zembic, Anja; Zhou, Wenjie; Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry
    Objectives Working Group 2 was convened to address topics relevant to prosthodontics and dental implants. Systematic reviews were developed according to focused questions addressing (a) the number of implants required to support fixed full‐arch restorations, (b) the influence of intentionally tilted implants compared to axial positioned implants when supporting fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), (c) implant placement and loading protocols, (d) zirconia dental implants, (e) zirconia and metal ceramic implant supported single crowns and (f) zirconia and metal ceramic implant supported FDPs. Materials and methods Group 2 considered and discussed information gathered in six systematic reviews. Group participants discussed statements developed by the authors and developed consensus. The group developed and found consensus for clinical recommendations based on both the statements and the experience of the group. The consensus statements and clinical recommendations were presented to the plenary (gathering of all conference attendees) and discussed. Final versions were developed after consensus was reached. Results A total of 27 consensus statements were developed from the systematic reviews. Additionally, the group developed 24 clinical recommendations based on the combined expertise of the participants and the developed consensus statements. Conclusions The literature supports the use of various implant numbers to support full‐arch fixed prostheses. The use of intentionally tilted dental implants is indicated when appropriate conditions exist. Implant placement and loading protocols should be considered together when planning and treating patients. One‐piece zirconia dental implants can be recommended when appropriate clinical conditions exist although two‐piece zirconia implants should be used with caution as a result of insufficient data. Clinical performance of zirconia and metal ceramic single implant supported crowns is similar and each demonstrates significant, though different, complications. Zirconia ceramic FDPs are less reliable than metal ceramic. Implant supported monolithic zirconia prostheses may be a future option with more supporting evidence.

    Use of a CAD‐CAM Surgical Template to Improve Accuracy for Simultaneous Implant Removal, New Implant Placement, and Bone Graft
    (Wiley, 2021) Gadah, Thuraya; Dutra, Vinicius; Polido, Waldemar; Al‐Shahrani, Ahid; Lin, Wei‐Shao; Morton, Dean; Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry
    A fractured implant is considered a catastrophic failure that leads to the loss of the implant and the prosthesis. Available methods of implant removal include the reverse screw technique, use of trephines, or osteotomies around the implant. In case of a fractured implant, the access hole for the reverse screw technique is impossible, leading to the need for an osteotomy. When the apical part of the fractured implant is embedded in bone, finding the piece may lead to a more ample osteotomy and significant bone loss, complicating future implant placement. This technique presented utilized a CAD-CAM surgical template that was designed with the purpose of improving accuracy in finding the fractured part with minimal osteotomy, allowing for simultaneous placement of a new implant in the same site, with additional bone graft, utilizing the same template.
