Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) acceler-ates wound healing in both soft and hard tissue significantly. Major indications for the use of L-PRF and the step-by-step preparation of L-PRF clots, membranes and plugs, as well as application approaches to open-flap debridement and ridge preservation, were introduced in the first two parts of this article series...

Polypropylene membrane in post-extraction alveolar repair
Drs Irineu Gregnanin Pedron & Munir Salomão, Brazil
Despite the technological and scientific ad-vances made in contemporary dentistry, exo-dontia is still very common in the daily clinical practice. Caries, fractures, periodontal diseases, iatrogenesis, unsuccessful therapies, prosthetic failures, persistent pathologies, malocclusions, automobile and/or sports accidents, neglected oral health and orthodontic indications, among others—all these factors contribute to dental damage.1...

There is a problem that many implantologists are not aware of: recent analyses of dental implants using scanning electron microscopy indicate that an alarming number of sterile-packaged implants are contaminated. In addition, the number of manufacturers affected is increasing, which is a major cause for concern. The placement of contami-nated implants can lead to a decline in the quality of clinical outcomes and, as a result, possibly lead to an increase in malpractice cases and thus compensations claims...

Prof. Ann Wennerberg from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden is a world-leading authority on dental implant surfaces. She recently led a systematic review of 62 clinical studies in which she analysed a total of over 17,000 implants with at least ten years of followup. The study compared the longterm clinical outcomes of implant treatments with different surfaces including sandblasted, titanium plasmasprayed, turned, sandblasted and acidetched, and anodised ones. Dental Tribune International met with Prof. Wennerberg to discuss her research and its findings...

Nobel Biocare introduces the Xeal abutment surface and TiUltra implant surface. From abutment to implant apex, surface chemistry and topography have been reimagined to optimise tissue integration at every level. Dense soft-tissue contact with an abutment can act as a barrier to protect the underlying bone and is the basis for longterm tissue health and stability.1–4 Xeal is a pioneering surface for soft-tissue integration that demonstrates a statistically significant increase in soft-tissue height compared to machined abutments.5 A smooth, non-porous, nanostructured and anodised surface, Xeal possesses surface chemistry and topography that are specially designed to promote soft-tissue attachment...
