Minimally invasive implant dentistry with short or narrow implants
Prof. Mauro Marincola1, Dr Daniel Hernández-González1, Dr Jaime Guzmán-De Ávila1 & Dr Miguel Simancas-Pallares1, Colombia1 Dental Implant Unit, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Cartagena, Colombia
Dental implants have been advocated as the treatment of choice for missing teeth and tooth replacements. Scientific evidence demonstrates their high success rates and therefore their clinical applicability. However, in some circumstances due to premature posterior tooth loss leading to severe sinus pneumatisation or a congenitally missed tooth causing alveolar bone collapse, implant placement can still remain challenging for clinicians. These circumstances could be present in one surgical target area at the same time, thus increasing treatment complexity. In such cases, available options such as short implants, ridge splitting, and internal and crestal sinus lifts have been proposed to minimise treatment cost and time, as well as co-morbidities but preserve treatment success rates.

Dental implants are established as a standard treatment in dentistry. More implants are placed every year and dentists are encountering new findings, often pathological, that are little described and researched in the literature. The more implants placed, the greater the variety of novel clinical and radiographic findings for which no treatment protocols exist. The association of peri-implantitis, implant failure and other pathologies with numerous unknown factors is steadily increasing...

Implant retreatment
Dr Philippe Leclercq, France; Jean-François Martinez, France & Michael Brüsh, Germany
When working with dental implants , a number of specific rules must be followed regarding both the implant surgery and the prosthesis itself (fixed protheses tending to have a more favourable prognosis than overdentures). If these rules are not adhered to, the results are often unsatisfactory, requiring retreatment...

Dr Peter Andersson and Prof. Lars Sennerby have treated implant patients together in Italy since 1996. They have used the Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) technique for implant stability measurements as an integrated part of their implant protocol since the RFA technique was invented more than 20 years ago. This is not too surprising, as Prof. Sennerby was one of the developers of the RFA technique. In this interview, however, Dr Andersson (Fig. 1) took the time to present his experience with the RFA technique and described how it is used in his clinic on a daily basis...
