1/5. Treatment of advanced periodontal destruction with immediately loaded implants and simultaneous bone augmentation: a case report.BACKGROUND: Advanced periodontal destruction is often associated with extraction of the teeth. Oral rehabilitation in these cases may include the traditional prosthetic restoration or an implant-supported reconstruction. Immediately loaded implants present an alternative treatment modality using a bar in the anterior mandible, along with the placement of higher numbers of implants, which are connected with a fixed prosthetic reconstruction. methods: This clinical case report presents the surgical and prosthetic rehabilitation in a patient who had lost all teeth due to advanced periodontal bone destruction. Six implants were placed in the upper and lower jaw each. Some implants required guided bone regeneration in conjunction with autologous bone grafting. All of the implants were connected with their abutments, and a temporary fixed restoration was placed immediately after surgery. The final metalloceramic-fixed reconstruction was cemented after 6 weeks of loading. RESULTS: All of the implants were osseointegrated and showed no clinical signs of mobility or infection. Mobility values were evaluated during healing and were found to be reduced. Radiological findings showed a stable peri-implant bone level during the total 18-month loading observation period. CONCLUSIONS: This case report presents an alternative treatment concept for the oral rehabilitation in a patient with advanced periodontal destruction. The concept of immediate loading of implants might provide a better opportunity to meet patient needs than more traditional treatment modalities.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/5. Immediate implant placement and provisionalization in edentulous, extraction, and sinus grafted sites.The incorporation of restorative procedures during implant placement, as well as during the creation of natural emergence profiles and lifelike ceramic restorations, has become the focus of implantology over the last few years. Recent publications have provided guidelines for success with the immediate restoration procedure and have presented basic surgical protocols for the implant team. Enhancement of the healing phase through the local delivery of growth factors to the surgical site, as well as through advancements in bone grafting materials, has allowed the implant surgeon to accomplish multiple surgical procedures during the initial surgical visit. In addition, advancements in surgical stent designs have allowed the restorative dentist to adequately communicate to the surgeon during surgery the parameters required in the final restoration to replace the natural tooth system with form, function, and esthetics. This article presents the results of more than 400 immediate restored implants placed in edentulous sites, fresh extraction sockets, and sinus grafted sites. Also highlighted are guidelines for surgical success, as well as a description of a surgical stent design that communicates requirements for restorative success to the surgeon, while also serving as an esthetic provisional restoration.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/5. Treatment planning in a case of restoration of the maxilla and mandible using osseointegrated implants with four types of bone graft.A case is reported of a 66-year-old woman who could not use a conventional, full upper denture because of a gag reflex. In the maxillary alveolar ridge, restoration was performed on a moderately atrophied, edentulous anterior area and a small defect in the right-side posterior area. In the mandibular alveolar ridge, restoration was performed on a moderate osseous defect in each molar area resulting from tooth extraction due to severe periodontal disease. Based on careful treatment planning, four types of bone graft were used with previously designed osseointegrated implants. The atrophied maxillary alveolar ridge was restored with veneer iliac bone grafts to avoid fenestration during implant placement, while alveolar process deficiency was restored using inlay and sinus bone grafts as placements for long implant fixtures. The defects in the mandibular alveolar bone were filled with corticocancellous bone chips at the implant placement sites. A combination of immediate and secondary placement of Branemark fixtures was used. Bone-anchored bridge-type implant prostheses were fitted approximately twelve months after surgery. Three years later, there had been no failure of implant fixtures and satisfactory functional and cosmetic restoration had been maintained.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/5. Implant treatment of macroglossia and edentulous mandible following radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer: a case report.radiotherapy for the nasopharyngeal cancer patient with poor oral care may lead to severe deterioration of the dentition and may require multiple extractions. Although the use of an implant-retained overdenture can successfully restore the function and esthetics of edentulous patients, its use can be complicated by the tissue changes subsequent to head and neck irradiation. The difficulties in implant treatment planning for an edentulous patient with macroglossia and soft tissue changes following radiotherapy are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/5. Consequences of serious oral injury associated with the congenital analgia syndrome.Three sisters at the ages of seven months, twelve years, and thirteen years presented with the initial damages to the oral tissues and the distinctive long-term effects in conjunction with the congenital analgia syndrome. The severity of this syndrome justifies the consideration of a prophylactic extraction of the primary dentition. A controlled mastication will be more likely with increasing age and eruption of the permanent teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
