An Evidence-Based Treatment Guide for Trauma from Occlusion: Essential Guidelines for Dental Students Trauma resulting from occlusion is a common clinical issue that can lead to significant discomfort, dysfunction, and long-term dental complications. This article is designed to offer a simplified, evidence-based overview of the pathophysiology of occlusal trauma, diagnostic approaches, and a treatment guide, making the management of occlusal trauma more accessible and easier to understand. Emphasis is placed on the importance of an individualized treatment planning, offering clinicians practical insights to optimize outcomes and minimize the adverse effects. The findings support the need for evidence-based decision-making in the management of occlusal trauma, ensuring both short-term relief and long-term dental health preservation.

ABSTRACT Implant periapical lesion (IPL) is also known as retrograde peri-implantitis and as the name suggests, it involves inflammation surrounding the apical part of the dental implants. Previously, many studies have reported the event of IPL that further delays osseointegration, and some reported failure of implant placement due to this disease. In this article, we described two cases of early dental implant failure that was associated with active IPL and correlated the clinical and radiographical findings with the histopathological findings.
