Thus, combinations of several dental implants have led to the development of solutions to solve these problems, ensuring less invasive and shorter treatment intervals, lower cost, lower patient morbidity and better quality of life (Bhering et al., 2016), (Peixoto et al., 2017), (Gümrükçü, Korkmaz, & Korkmaz, 2017).

Dental implant is used to replace the natural dental root. The process to fix the dental implant in the jaw bone requires a previous drilling operation. One of the major problems in drilling of a bone is the increase of the temperature caused by friction between the drill cutting surface in contact with the hole and bone fragments formed during the drilling (Abagge, 1998). This temperature must be below the temperature of 47°C during drilling to avoid bone necrosis (Eriksson, 1983).
Basic implantology – An American perspective

Traditionally, before placing a dental implant the teeth are removed and the extraction sockets are left to heal for several months prior to the placement of an implant. Patients and doctors like, where feasible, to shorten the time between tooth extraction and implant placement. The potential advantages of immediate or early placement of an implant result in fewer surgical treatments and shorter treatment time. Bone loss is part of the normal remodelling phase after extraction, but might be reduced to advantage with an early implant placement, which can enhance the aesthetic result. The potential disadvantages are increased risk of infection, implant failure, difficulties in achieving primary stability and gaps can be present between the implant and the bony walls of the socket.

Dental implants have been widely used as a gold-standard treatment to replace missing teeth due to their optimal clinical survival rates, ranging from 95 to 98% in 10- and 25-year follow-up clinical studies [1–3]. In addition, the gains in the masticatory function, esthetic conditions, and overall patient quality of life have also contributed to the increased popularity of this treatment modality in edentulous and partially edentulous patients [4]. Importantly, in the United States alone, dental implant prevalence in the adult population with missing teeth is expected to increase from 5.3% in 1999 to 23% by 2026 [5]. However, with the increased prevalence of dental implants in the population, mechanical and technical complications (related to prosthesis delamination of ceramic parts, implant fractures, and abutment damages) [6] are being reported more often. Biological complications can also occur through the interaction between metal implant surfaces and a pathogenic oral biofilm accumulated around dental implants. This interaction can lead to exacerbated host immune response, causing to peri-implant diseases [7].

Expectedly, in the future, more than half of the aging population will have dental implants. While the integration and longevity of implants demonstrate favorable outcomes, there is a strong probability of peri-implant mucositis and subsequent peri-implantitis occurrence. Biomarkers facilitate the detection of possible early stages of a condition, whereas observable tissue damage that has already occurred. The analysis of oral fluids during the follow-up of various periodontal treatments provides an excellent chance for a more precise diagnosis. Maintaining healthy implant and periodontal tissues, with aMMP-8 levels below 20 ng/ml, demands attentive upkeep from both the patient and dental practitioners. Thanks to cutting-edge technology, we can now accurately and efficiently evaluate the health status of oral tissues. Patients value accurate and trustworthy information about their oral health more than metrics like the clinical bleeding index. With the latest aMMP-8 technology, we can provide patients with the factual and reliable information they crave.
Frequency and type of tooth extractions in adults vary by age: register-based nationwide observations in 2012–2017

The register system of the SII places under the same main category all patients who received any oral surgical procedure. Thus, it was impossible to distinguish numbers of those patients who received just tooth extractions, while the data offered the information of the numbers of tooth extractions. In addition to tooth extractions and other tooth-based procedures, such as hemisection, apicoectomy and coronectomy, there are other types of oral surgical treatments; most of them infrequent, whereas e.g. the placement of a dental implant is frequent in the private dental care, where per year about 20,000 patients receive implants [21]. This indicates that patients with oral surgical procedures other than tooth extractions made up only a minor part of all patients receiving oral surgical procedures. Consequently, the rates of patients undergoing oral surgical treatments only slightly overestimate the actual rates of patients receiving tooth extractions.
