Immediate loading of root-form dental implants has shown promising results and offers treatment cost and convenience advantages to patients. Although blade implants have been immediately loaded for over 2 decades, the ability of this implant design to achieve osseointegration has been debated. The aim of the present study was to histologically evaluate the peri-implant tissues of an immediately loaded blade implant retrieved for abutment fracture after a 20-year loading period. Histologic samples were prepared and examined by light microscope. Compact, cortical, mature bone with well-formed osteons was present at the interface of the implant. Bone-to-implant contact was 51% +/- 6%. The histologic data showed that osseointegration was obtained in an immediately loaded blade implant inserted into the mandible, and that mineralized tissues were maintained at the interface over a long period (20 years).
This article describes the use of osteotomes for the placement of plate-form implants. Comparison is made between the use of cylinders and the plate form as it relates to bone mass and resistant forces. It concludes by showing several cases in function.
This case report describes the use of an extraction site for placement of a critically important implant. This use solved an important functional and cosmetic problem in a dramatic and successful manner.
