EVALUATION OF RESORBABLE BLAST MEDIA SURFACE IN IMMEDIATE DENTAL IMPLANT

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Ten adult patients with age ranged from 20-40 years having maxillary anterior tooth indicated for extraction. After extraction was done installation of immediate dental implant into fresh extraction socket using RBM surface treated dental implant. The patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically by using periapical radiograph and cone beam CT (CBCT). OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of Resorbable Blast Media (RBM) surface treated dental implant placed into fresh extraction socket. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten adult patients with age ranged from 20-40 years having maxillary anterior tooth indicated for extraction. After extraction was done installation of immediate dental implant into fresh extraction socket using RBM surface treated dental implant. The patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically by using periapical radiograph and cone beam CT (CBCT). RESULTS: In this study no severe pain was recorded postoperatively. No signs of infection or swelling were observed in our patients along the follow up period. The Mean value of the primary stability was 64.10 ± 4.79 ISQ and the mean value of secondary stability (after 6 months) was 66.10 ± 4.77 ISQ which was statistically not significant. The mean value of marginal bone loss was 0.22 ± 0.07mm after 6 months. CONCLUSION: Immediate placement of dental implant in fresh extraction socket should be considered as a valuable option to replace missing tooth in anterior maxilla. The RBM surface treated dental implant can support osseointegration. KEY WORDS: Immediate implant, RBM surface, Osstell.
