Effect Of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound On Dental Implants
Authors: Sabarimani, Balaji, Manikandan
Abstract Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) has gained attention as a non-invasive therapeutic modality with
potential applications in regenerative medicine, orthopedics, and dentistry. This review explores the current
evidence regarding the impact of LIPUS on osseointegration, bone healing, and the overall clinical outcomes of
dental implants. Additionally, it examines the historical development of LIPUS, its biological mechanisms, its effects
on osseointegration and peri-implant tissue healing, and its potential clinical applications. Furthermore, the
limitations of existing studies are discussed, along with recommendations for future research to optimize the
integration of LIPUS in dental implantology.

Precision In Dental Implantology: A Review Of Freehand And Guided Implant Placement Techniques
Authors: Jeeva Lakshmi, Balaji, Manikandan
Abstract Accurate implant placement is essential for long-term success in implant dentistry, with freehand and guided
techniques being the two primary approaches. Freehand placement relies on the clinician’s expertise and
intraoperative judgment, while guided surgery utilizes digital workflows to enhance precision and predictability.
This review compares both techniques in terms of accuracy, efficiency, clinical outcomes, and cost-effectiveness.
Literature suggests that guided implant placement offers superior precision and reduced complications but
requires additional costs and preoperative planning. Conversely, freehand placement remains a flexible and
efficient technique in skilled hands. The choice between these approaches depends on factors such as case
complexity, clinician experience, and resource availability. Advancements in digital dentistry and artificial
intelligence may further refine implant placement techniques, improving overall treatment outcomes.
