Abstract
Immediate placement of an implant in the fresh alveoli of an extracted tooth has many advantages compared to delayed implantation. In the first place the shortened period of implant prosthetic rehabilitation of approximately 6-8 months, which is the time necessary for the alveoli to fill with the newly formed bone, the smaller number of surgical interventions, prevention of bone resorption and better positioning of the implant. Histomorphometrical analyses on an experimental model have demonstrated that healing of the bone defect around the immediately placed implant in post-extraction alveoli is complete and that the possibility of osseointegration better than in the case of delayed implantation. The reason is the greater potential for healing fresh extractive alveoli. Schultes’s investigation showed that the percentage of osseointegrated surface 6 months after immedi-ate placement of implants was 80%, compared with delayed implantation where this percentage was somewhat less, 75%.
An example is given of a female patient, aged 56 years, with distal partial edentulousness/edentia of the left side of the upper jaw. Complete implantoprosthetic rehabilitation was achieved by a combination of two different types of implants and the technique of immediate implantation of a conical, screw implant into the fresh alveoli of an extracted left upper canine. An example will also be given of immediate implantation with augmentation of the bone defect by autologous bone transplant in the case of loss of one tooth in the frontal region and an example of immediate implantation on the site of extracted lower canines, with anchors of the lower supporting prostheses.
