In the current study, 45 ITI (Straumann) implants were placed in the partially edentulous posterior mandibles of 32 male patients, including 16 who were heavy smokers and 16 who did not smoke at all. Implant stability and peri-implant tissue response were assessed at three, four, six, eight and 12 weeks post-surgery. In non-smokers, stability improved and implants began to better integrate into the bone after the second week. In the smoking group, however, implants only began to osseo- integrate and be- come more stable after the third week. Despite successful short-term outcomes in both groups, smokers experienced more problems, including greater bone loss around the implants and deeper soft-tissue pockets. In light of the fi ndings, the researchers sug- gested that surgeons might need to change their standard implant loading schedule for patients who smoke heavily. The report, titled “Effect of heavy smoking on dental implants placed in male patients posterior mandibles: A pro- spective clinical study,” was conducted by re- searchers at the First Affi liated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University in Xi’an in China. The results were published in the December 2016 issue of the Journal of Oral Implantology. mm o c . k c o t s r h utte PILI/S SIM © Oestrogen therapy helps reduce Periodontitis in postmenopausal women A new study has now shown that this oestrogen treatment could also lower the prevalence of severe periodontitis in postmenopausal women. The study included 492 postmenopausal women, 113 of whom received osteoporosis treatment and 379 who did not. It showed that those who received systemic oestrogen alone, or oestrogen plus progestin, and calci- um and vitamin D supplements for at least six months had lower periodontal probing depth, less clinical attachment loss and less gingival bleeding than women not receiving treatment for osteoporosis. In particular, the prevalence of severe periodontitis was 44 per cent lower in the osteoporosis treatment group than in the other group. The study, titled “Association between osteo- porosis treatment and severe periodontitis in postmenopausal women,” was published on- line ahead of print on Feb. 20 in Menopause, the journal of the North American Menopause Society. It was conducted at several scientifi c and state health institutions in Brazil in collab- oration with the State University of New York. © Kunst Bilder/Shutterstock.com issn 1868-3207 Vol. 18 • Issue 1/2017 implants international magazine of oral implantology 12017 overview The “Ts” in implantology— of triumphs and tragedies case report The post-extraction immediate implant industry Dynamic navigation for precise implant placement implants 1/17 issn 1868-3207 Vol. 1 • Issue 1/2017 ceramic implants international magazine of ceramic implant technology 12017 research research The effects of professional The effects of professional The effects of professional education on oral-health education on oral-health education on oral-health awareness awareness industry industry industry Augmentation and implant Augmentation and implant Augmentation and implant Augmentation and implant Augmentation and implant treatment treatment treatment COMING SOON interview interview interview “Help clinicians to make an excellent treatment even better” Fax +49 341 48474-290 I would like to subscribe for the following journals: implants – international magazine of oral implantology 4 issues p.a. 44.– %* ceramic implants – international magazine of oral implantology 2 issues p.a. 30.– %* Terms & Conditions: The subscription may be cancelled in written form without due justifi cation within 14 days of order by contacting OEMUS MEDIA AG, Holbein- straße 29, 04229 Leipzig, Germany.
