Ode to the Hidden Buttress of the Upper Jaw
The supramaxillary bony arch links nasopalatine recess, canine buttress, and anterior nasal spine: CBCT anatomy that decides upper jaw implant anchorage.
Fibrointegration: the implant that moves too much to integrate
Fibrointegration: why an implant wraps itself in fibrous tissue instead of bonding to bone, what causes it, and how to prevent it.
Immediate Loading: Great Treatment, Wrong Hands
Immediate loading is an excellent technique that turns bad as a «one-size-fits-all protocol». The difference is the hand, not the tool.
Oral sutures: when they come out and whether it hurts
Oral sutures after dental surgery: when non-resorbable stitches come out (usually 7–10 days), whether removal hurts, and what to do if one falls early.
Smoking after an implant or extraction: how long to wait
Smoking after an extraction triples dry socket risk; after an implant it roughly doubles the failure rate. How long to wait and why.
How long does swelling last after a dental implant
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.
Tooth extraction: what to do in the first 48 hours
The first 48 hours after a tooth extraction decide the healing outcome: protect the clot, manage pain, avoid the right things. A practical guide.
Bleeding after a dental implant: what's normal and what's not
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.

A Snare Strangles the Bacterial Ribosome: Lariocidin
Lariocidin, a lasso-peptide antibiotic published in Nature, targets a new ribosome site never hit by any other antibacterial drug.
How to cancel pain after oral surgery
Post-op pain peaks 5-6h after oral surgery. NSAIDs plus paracetamol beat opioids; pre-emptive analgesia and bupivacaine widen the pain-free window.
The “Revolutionary” Discovery of Hot Water
A 2024 paper calls the Gingival Open-Wound Technique an 'innovation'. Dr. Bruschi has documented second-intention healing in implantology since 1998.
What on Earth Does “Shape Innovation” Mean?
Implant "shape innovation": why macro- and micro-geometry, not roughness alone, drives bone healing — threads, healing chambers, distance osteogenesis.
Immediate Loading: Technique, Benefits and When It's Indicated
How immediate-loading implantology works, when it is indicated, and its real benefits over delayed loading. Clinical guide by Dr. Ernesto Bruschi.
