Evaluation of Success Rate of Immediately Placed Implants in Sockets with Facial Bone Defects in Anterior Region of Maxilla

Abstract

Purpose nbsp Placement of implants immediately after tooth extraction has proven to be a successful treatment with various advantages from which patients can benefit However there are some conditions that jeopardize the success of mentioned treatment Presence of a bone defect at the facial aspect of an extraction socket is a situation that has been argued controversially among clinicians The aim of present study is to investigate the success rate of immediately placed single implants in the sockets with bone defect in anterior region of the maxilla Method nbsp Seventeen patients were included in this study that had a bone defect at the involved tooth site at the facial aspect of socket After initial examination and routine procedures implants were placed in anterior region of the maxilla Bone augmentation was applied for all of the patients by means of an allograft MDA DBA and a collagen membrane months after surgery four clinical parameters were evaluated including absence or presence of suppuration pain implant mobility and thread exposure through facial bone wall Results nbsp In month follow up visit no suppuration was observed among patients no thread exposure was observed In one of the patients pain and mobility was observed pain mobility Therefore survival rate at month follow up visit was Conclusion nbsp Based on the result of this study placement of implants in an extraction socket with a defect by use of bone augmentation techniques can be considered as a predictable treatment modality
