Objective:
To evaluate the application effect of the platform switching implants in maxillary anterior region, to explore the effect of platform switching technology on the surrounding tissues.
Methods:
55 patients with 60 single maxillary anterior implants were divided into two groups: platform-switching implants group (Ankylos), 25 patients with 28 implants; butt-joint implants group (Nobel Replace), 30 patients with 32 implants. The patients received follow-up care more than 1 and 2 year after the final setting of the prosthesis, at which time periapical radiographs were taken. The marginal bone level around the implant and Pink Esthetic Score (PES) were measured for comparison.
Results :
The average marginal bone changes of platform-switching implants after 1 year and 2 year were (-0.41 ± 0.36) mm and (-0.55 ± 0.33) mm respectively; and the ones of butt-joint implants were (-1.77 ± 0.54) mm and (-1.82 ± 0.61) mm. The average PES of platform- switched implants after 1 year and 2 year were 10.43 ± 1.37 and 10.32 ± 1.21 respectively; the ones of butt-joint implants were 9.21 ± 0.97 and 9.16 ± 0.95. There were significantly differences of marginal bone changes and PES between both groups (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Platform switching implant in the maxillary aesthetics area is more effective in preserving the surrounding bone tissue and aesthetic effect.

Objective To summarize the best evidence on nonpharmacological prevention of postpartum depression and to provide the evidence-based basis for clinic and community to implementing non-pharmaco-logical prevention of postpartum depression.Methods The evidences such as related clinical decision making,guidelines,expert consensus,systematic reviews,etc.on non-pharmacologic prevention and management of postpartum depression were systematically retrieved from computer decision system,the guidelines websites,Chinese and English databases and related society websites.The retrieval time was from the database establis-ment to April,2023.Results A total of 23 papers were included,among them,there were 2 clinical decisions,3 guidelines,1 expert consensus and 15 systematic evaluations,2 evidence summaries.Six aspects of non-phar-macological prevention of postpartum depression were summarized,including building multidisciplinary teams,screening and evaluation,psychological intervention,social support,exercise intervention,and self-care,and 23 pieces of evidence were extracted.Conclusion This study summarizes the best evidence for the preven-tion of postpartum depression,suggesting early identification of high-risk groups and the medical staff should provide personalized and comprehensive prevention and intervention programs for postpartum depression ac-cording to the risk factors existing in parturient,so as to reduce the incidence of postpartum depression and re-duce the burden of society and families.
