Immediate Implant Dentistry and the Selection of Biomaterial to Fill the Gap: Use of Xenografts with Incorporated Atelo-Collagen

Implant dentistry has seen rapid progress in recent years leading to its application as standard treatment modalities. While selecting treatment plan, bone mapping and selection of implant is very essential for a successful implant practice. In case of an atrophic ridge where bone height is less, then selection of short implant could be a good treatment alternative, as it is a conservative treatment option because it prevents the need of sinus lift, alveolar nerve repositioning, and bone grafting. This article will discuss about how? when to use short implants along with their advantages, disadvantages of short implants in details.

Summary Implant placement in the esthetic zone is a complex procedure and requires a restoration-driven approach. Proper selection of patients and implant together with individual assessment of the risk of esthetic complications are very important. Correct 3D-implant positioning and sufficient bone volume should provide long-term esthetic and function. Esthetic region is a zone in which expectations and possibilities collide. Clinician should bring the important decision on the appropriate time of implant placement. Immediate implant placement is particularly challenging in the esthetic zone. Patient desire for reduced treatment time should be weighed against the possible risk factors. Protocol of immediate implant placement in conditions of unfavourable gingival biotypes, the lack of bone or soft tissue in patients with a high smile line lead to esthetic failure which is very important in the esthetic region.

Dental implants have become the most promising and accepted prosthetic alternative to missing teeth. Innovative and technological advances in implant dentistry have improved the performance and long term prognosis of dental implants. The growing demand for dental implants has led many manufacturers to enter the industry. With this growth in implant dentistry various implant brands and their components are made available in the markets that vary in terms of design and other features. Success of implant restorations is related to various components involved with the prosthesis. Implant abutment is the link between implant and restoration; right selection of this abutment is vital for the success of implant prosthesis. There are varieties of implant abutments available in the market. Clinician should have adequate knowledge about these abutments and various factors that affect abutment selection, to choose the right one. Each implant case is different and clinician should be able to identify requirements of every individual case and choose the best suitable abutment available in the market. These abutments vary in implant abutment connection, material, type of retention, and fabrication methods. Though the ideal concept is prosthetically driven implant placement, many times anatomical features, esthetic requirements, soft tissue profile, axial load distribution, malpositioned implants, and many other patient factors do not allow ideal implant placement. Such cases can be managed by careful selection of abutments by assessing the clinical requirements, thus offering better treatment outcome. This paper is an attempt to contemplate various factors affecting abutment selection, and throw light on various implant abutments available in the market, thus guiding the clinician in abutment selection. Hence this article summarizes complete information about the implant abutments, including introduction, types, selection, and different abutments available in market.

Immediate placement of implants into the freshly extracted tooth sockets is viable and preferable option in many cases who have to wait for healing phase in traditional implant therapy. This has been a great boon for the implant dentistry. In this case a young lady who had unusual trauma to her upper front tooth had immediate implant placed on the same day of extraction and metal-ceramic crown restored her esthetics after about 4 months. With extensive treatment planning and execution of surgical and prosthetic phases of implant therapy, immediate placement of dental implant gives wonderful results.

With the evolution of implant dentistry, immediate implantation remains a challenge especially in achieving a good primary stability with avoidance of complications such as nerve injuries and lingual perforations. This study was aimed to determine the risks of nerve injury and lingual perforation following virtual implant placement at mandibular canines, mandibular first premolars and mandibular second premolars using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. From the total of 771 CBCT scans screened, 100 CBCT scans were included. Measurements were made based on the cross-section of the study teeth, that were mandibular canine, first premolar and second premolar, to obtain the distance between root apex and nerve canal as well as risk of nerve injury. A virtual implant was then placed at each site to assess the risk of lingual perforation. Generally, the distance between root apex and nerve was less than 6 mm and the highest risk of nerve injury was observed at second premolar (79.6%) followed by first premolar (45.3%) and canine (23.4%). Risk of lingual perforation following immediate implant placement was between 0.7-1.5%. The risk of nerve injury was considerably high due to insufficient root apex to nerve canal distance while the risk of lingual perforation was low.

(1) Background: Immediate dental implant placement has been a subject of great interest over the last decade. Here, information regarding the anatomy and bone thickness of the jaw prior to dental implant placement is crucial to increase the surgery’s success and the patient’s safety. The clinical premises for this approach have been controversially discussed. One of those heavily discussed premises is a buccal bone thickness of at least 1 mm thickness. This meta-analysis aims to systematically review buccal bone thickness (BBT) in healthy patients. Thus, the feasibility of immediate dental implant placement in daily practice can be assessed. (2) Methods: A search in the electronic databases was performed to identify articles reporting on BBT that was measured by computed tomography in adults. (3) Results: We were able to find 45 studies, including 4324 patients with 25,452 analyzed teeth. The analysis showed a BBT at the alveolar crest of 0.76 ± 0.49 mm in the maxillary frontal and of 1.42 ± 0.74 mm in the maxillary posterior region. In the mandible, the average measured values were similar to those in the maxilla (front: 0.95 ± 0.58 mm; posterior: 1.20 ± 0.96 mm). In the maxillary frontal region 74.4% and in the mandibular frontal region 61.2% of the crestal buccal bones showed widths <1 mm. (4) Conclusions: In more than 60% of the cases, the BBT at the alveolar crest is <1 mm in maxillary and mandibular frontal regions. This anatomic data supports careful pre-surgical assessment, planning of a buccal graft, and critical selection of indication for immediate implant placement, especially in the maxillary and mandibular frontal and premolar region.

Delayed Implant Placement

Abstract Recent advancements in barrier membranes, bone grafting substitutes, and surgical techniques have led to a predictable arsenal of treatment methods for clinicians who practice implant dentistry. The contemporary clinician is supplied with proven knowledge, substantiated materials, and instrument inventory that allows implant placement in cases that used to be reserved for the specialist in the past because of their complexity. Nowadays, postextraction alveolar ridge maintenance can be a predictable procedure and can certainly aid the clinician in preventing ridge collapse, thereby allowing for implant placement in a position that satisfies esthetics and function. Extraction socket maintenance for future implant therapy does not rule out immediate implant placement but rather provides an additional option when treatment planning implant patients. This article will focus on the concept of extraction socket preservation using regenerative materials. It will describe a technique suggested by the authors to resist bone resorption and soft tissue shrinkage following tooth extraction.
