The use of dental implants for the treatment of partial and complete adentia is increasing every year. Following this, despite the improvement in the quality of dental services, the percentage of complications also increases. One of the most common complications in implant treatment is peri-implantitis. The microorganisms causing this process are in the biofilm on the surface of the implant, which complicates the treatment and reduces the effectiveness of antimicrobials. One of the principles of modern medicine is prevention, which opens up new prospects for the use of probiotics.
Nowadays congenitally missing lateral incisors is a common clinical occurrence. Successful dental treatment is always the goal for patients and dental practitioners. In this abstract, the authors introduce an approach using dental implants to solve the problem of congenitally missing lateral incisors. In most cases, a multidisciplinary treatment plan has to be developed and executed. Currently, a single implant supported crown is a predictable method for the treatment of bilateral missing incisors.
