The immediate placement of endosseous dental implants in fresh extraction sites.

The use of endosseous dental implants to rehabilitate both fully and partially edentulous patients has been peer-reviewed in the literature for more than 25 years. Cumulative success rates for the treatment of partial edentulism with dental implants has been reported as 96% in delayed or late-placement sites. Recently, significant attention has been given to the placement of implants in fresh extraction sites to avoid such potential concerns as bone resorption, multiple surgical procedures, increased treatment time, and unsatisfactory esthetics. This article discusses the salient aspects of immediate dental implant placement from a historical, histologic, and clinical-perspective, and describes the surgical methods for this procedure.

Evidence-based decision-making: implants versus natural teeth.

The clinician is increasingly confronted with the dilemma of whether to use implants or so-called "traditional" dental interventions. Given the high predictability of implants, their use should be considered routine. The survival and success rates reported by many investigators often exceed the success rates of some forms of heroic treatment. Findings from well-designed trials must be used to guide clinical decision-making. In this article, the authors review studies of outcomes related to one particular implant system and compare these results to those reported for various forms of endodontic therapy and tissue-supported mandibular complete dentures. The results suggest that implant restorations of the system in question have a level of predictability equal to or greater than that for traditional dental treatment.

Success and failure rates of 9 mm or shorter implants in the replacement of missing maxillary molars when restored with individual crowns: preliminary results 0 to 84 months in function. A retrospective study.

BACKGROUND: The ability to utilize shorter implants in the reconstruction of the posterior maxilla would, theoretically, simplify therapy by lessening the need for augmentation surgery. The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the success and failure rates of < or = 9 mm or shorter implants in the maxillary posterior regions restored with individual crowns. METHODS: A total of 979 implants were placed in maxillary molar positions and restored with individual crowns. The implants were followed in function for up to 84 months. The results are discussed in terms of clinical applicability and indications for use. RESULTS: The cumulative success rates in function were 94.5% for implants in the maxillary first molar positions and 98.7% for implants in the maxillary second molar positions, yielding an overall cumulative success rate of 95.1%, in function for up to 84 months. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that non-countersunk implants of 7 to 9 mm in length may be successfully restored with single crowns in the maxillary molar region.

Pre-implant orthodontics: achieving vertical bone height without osseous grafts.

Traditionally, orthodontic treatment has be involved with implant dentistry to correct malocclusion prior to surgical procedures. Most recently, orthodontics has become an invaluable adjunct to implant dentistry for treatment plans involving tooth replacement for sites diagnosed with localized advanced periodontitis. Loss of vertical bone height as a result of periodontal disease is difficult to overcome with hard tissue grafting. However, in cases where the failing or failed tooth is still present, an alternative method involving pre-implant orthodontics is being utilized to generate vertical bone height. Specifically, orthodontic intrusive and extrusive forces are exerted on the hopeles tooth or teeth to facilitate bone in the future implant site. The author presents a case demonstrating this technique.

Immediate placement/immediate load: a single-tooth case study utilizing the ITI dental implant system.

For the past 35 years, endosseous dental implants have revolutionized the methods clinicians use to treat edentulous and partially edentulous patients. Initially recommended only to rehabilitate fully edentulous patients utilizing fixed prosthetics, endosseous dental implants were then shown to be effective to treat partial edentulism. Over the last decade, numerous studies have documented successful placement of endosseous dental implants in fresh extraction sites, and methods have been developed to provisionalize both full-arch and single-tooth implant cases at the time of surgery. This article describes the immediate placement/immediate load of a single ITI dental implant.
