Crown, screw or implant: what is actually moving, early versus late failure, and what to do in the first 48 hours. Dr. Bruschi's guide for patients.
The osteoblast builds bone, then meets three fates: apoptosis, the quiet of a lining cell, or being buried alive to become an osteocyte.
In vitro study on 40 zirconia full-arches: with four implants or six alike, strength out in the cantilever zones stays low.
Taper, threads and diameter raise primary stability. Ideal geometry is not abstract — it exists for one site and one patient.

The supramaxillary bony arch links nasopalatine recess, canine buttress, and anterior nasal spine: CBCT anatomy that decides upper jaw implant anchorage.
Untreated periodontitis, immediate loading that flattens bone, mass extractions, re-treatments: why 'atrophic' implant cases keep surging. Atrophy we create.
Zone A (40 μm, avascular, fibroblast-rich) seals the implant. Zone B (160 μm, collagenous, vascularized) supports it. Moon et al., 1999.
Fibrointegration: why an implant wraps itself in fibrous tissue instead of bonding to bone, what causes it, and how to prevent it.
Many colleagues think transcrestal sinus lift means perforating the membrane. Almost never. You move the cortical floor, across all three planes of space.
Immediate loading is an excellent technique that turns bad as a «one-size-fits-all protocol». The difference is the hand, not the tool.
Smoking after an extraction triples dry socket risk; after an implant it roughly doubles the failure rate. How long to wait and why.
Swelling after a dental implant peaks at 48–72 hours and clears in about a week. What actually works against oedema and when to call your dentist.
Severe peri-implantitis treated flapless with TST decontamination. Eight years of radiographic follow-up in a 95-year-old patient.
Clinical case: full maxillary rehabilitation with 6 post-extractive implants, LMSF expansion and lancet drill. Flapless, graftless.
Light oozing in the first days is expected. Bright red bleeding that won't stop is not. Dr. Bruschi's guide to the first 7 days after implant placement.
Implant tribocorrosion is an interface phenomenon, not a titanium defect: a false problem solved by the conical connection or by one-piece implants.
Titanium is not a toxic heavy metal. How biological dentistry uses fear to sell ceramic implants instead of titanium.
Atrophic ridge at site 4.6 with osteo-mucosal defect: Bonebending 4.0 and simultaneous implant in one session. Three-month result.
Clinical case: ERE ridge expansion with immediate implant and simultaneous regeneration. From a failing bridge to an implant in a single session.
Graftless LMSF clinical case: two implants at sites 1.6/1.5 with calibrated screw expanders. Localised management of the maxillary sinus, no graft.
Clinical case of severe peri-implantitis treated with TST decontamination (Ten Second Technique) and guided bone regeneration. Two-year follow-up.
How expanders enable implant placement in post-extraction sockets with atrophic bone: biomechanical principle, surgical technique, and limits.
The Bruschi-Scipioni ERE ridge expansion: what it is, when it is indicated, what the evidence says. The pillar of bonebending.
Ridge expansion, GBR, sinus lift, autologous graft: which technique for which defect. Evidence and long-term outcomes.
Dental implant longevity according to long-term studies: survival rates, risk factors and what to do to make them last.
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) and autologous graft compared: when to use each. Evidence, advantages, limitations.
Not enough bone for implants? Today regeneration is possible without iliac crest harvesting. Ridge expansion, GBR, biomaterials: evidence and outcomes.
Bone-level, tissue-level, conical connection: the correct depth changes with connection type. Why getting it wrong causes bone resorption.
Implant rejection does not exist: titanium is biocompatible. The real causes of failure and risk factors according to the literature.
Similarities, differences and pathogenic mechanisms between peri-implantitis and periodontitis microbiota. A literature review.
Alveolar bone holds your teeth and your implants. After extraction it shrinks in predictable ways. Anatomy, causes, and what the data say about rebuilding.
Three phases of osseointegration: blood wets the implant, cells arrive, bone grows. What the data actually say about hydrophilic surfaces.
Lariocidin, a lasso-peptide antibiotic published in Nature, targets a new ribosome site never hit by any other antibacterial drug.
Your mouth is intimate territory. 64% of Italians fear the dentist. Conservative techniques remove what scares people most: grafts, pain, long recovery.
Implant or bridge? Cost, longevity, risk and benefit compared — a specialist guide to choosing the right solution for your clinical situation.
A malpositioned dental implant loses 0.25 mm of bone per 10° of angular error. Symptoms, when it's fixable, and when it must be removed.
Split crest works only with a partial-thickness flap. Strip the periosteum and the mobilized cortex resorbs. The evidence, the instruments, the biology.
Bone expansion isn't for specialists. It's the safest way to prepare any implant site — used next to your usual drills, in the same appointment.
While you run two-stage GBR, your competitors place implants in a single session. The competitive edge of the Bonebenders — with the numbers that prove it.
Primary stability is friction — it always means bone compression. Why torque and ISQ thresholds don't predict success, and where to compress.
The Wang A1-C3 system separates cortical and trabecular bone into 9 real configurations. Why it beats Misch D1-D4 for implant planning.
Osseoperception is the sixth sense of dental implants: how the brain rewires to feel touch and bite force through bone after osseointegration.
Microgap, crestal bone loss, mechanical stability: why the implant-abutment connection is not a detail. Morse taper vs flat compared.
How the diamond disc makes mandibular ridge expansion fast, graft-free and atraumatic — a real alternative to GBR in dense bone. No overheating, no mallet.
The Bonebenders modified lancet bur: trajectory correction, interradicular septa, and graftless sinus access for advanced implantology.
Meta-analysis of 1,400 implants confirms ridge split works: 98.1% survival, 3.3mm bone gain. Why expansion rivals grafting for moderate horizontal defects.
A 2024 paper calls the Gingival Open-Wound Technique an 'innovation'. Dr. Bruschi has documented second-intention healing in implantology since 1998.
Second-intention healing rebuilds bone and gum without sutures. Recent reviews confirm the open palate heals on its own — costly aids rarely help.
Custom regeneration isn't the opposite of All-on-X — it's its evolution. When to save teeth, when to go full-arch, and why one size never fits.
Osteoclasts resorb, osteoblasts build, osteocytes coordinate: how bone remodeling works and why it determines dental implant success.
Implant macrogeometry — body shape, length, diameter, threads — drives primary stability. What recent evidence says and how to choose the design.
Manola has periodontitis. When is root planing enough, when is surgery needed, and why trust between patient and dentist quietly decides the outcome.
Osteo-mucosal ridge expansion regenerates bone and keratinized mucosa without grafts or sutures — a full-arch maxillary case with 7-year follow-up.
In the first five minutes after implant insertion, blood coats titanium with proteins in a precise sequence — and surface roughness decides what sticks.
Implant "shape innovation": why macro- and micro-geometry, not roughness alone, drives bone healing — threads, healing chambers, distance osteogenesis.
How immediate-loading implantology works, when it is indicated, and its real benefits over delayed loading. Clinical guide by Dr. Ernesto Bruschi.
Francesco lost his upper teeth to dodge the draft, then endured decades of failing bridges. Regenerative ridge expansion rebuilt his bone, and his smile.
