Editor’s choice
In this issue, the editor’s choice is the article published in the Clinical Oral Implants Research, “Five Year Clinical, Radiographic and Soft Tissue Profilometric Outcomes at Two Narrow-Diameter Implants to Replace Missing Maxillary Lateral Incisors” authored by Andrea Roccuzzo.
In their study, the authors compared the 5-year outcomes in patients with congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors (MLIs) rehabilitated with 2.9mm and 3.3mm implants. They reported that the use of both implant diameters delivered comparable long-term results. Therefore, clinicians can rely on both implant types to replace congenitally missing MLIs.
