�One-piece� immediate-load post-extraction implants in labial bone-deficient upper jaws

Abstract

Introduction Contusive trauma or malocclusionrelated periodontal disease can severely compromise the upper anterior teeth, leading to labial bone resorption and ultimately loss of function and unsightly root exposure. To resolve these issues, we propose the replacement of compromised teeth using one-piece, immediateload, post-extraction implants. These can be implanted and fitted with customised temporary crowns in a single surgical procedure, restoring function and aesthetics and allowing recovery of the bone deficit with reduced healing times and limited patient discomfort. This study aims to assess the one-piece, immediateload, post-extraction implants in labial bone-deficient upper jaws. Materials and methods One-piece, wide diameter, titanium screw implants with thread measurements of 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm, with an abutment of 2.5 mm, were positioned and splinted by intraoral welding. Results These implants yielded satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes in bone-deficient upper anterior sectors, without invasive regenerative procedures. Conclusion The low invasiveness of the approach used in this research study consents rapid healing, reduced biological burden and greater patient benefit.

“…[1][2][3] Clinicians from the study group of NuovoGISI have long and successful experiences with immediate loading of maxillary implants connected together by intraoral welding. [4][5][6][7] Intraoral welding can join and stabilize implants by the use of a titanium wire or bar that is permanently connected to the implants. An electric current is used to fuse the titanium to the abutments in milliseconds.…”

Immediately loaded bicortical implants inserted in fresh extraction and healed sites in patients with and without a history of periodontal disease

“…There are very few scientific articles describing polished surface one-piece screw implants in periodontally involved cases with successful results and those available are mainly case reports. [2324252627] One of the reasons for this may be the fact that the Italian school of screw implants with the longest long-term observations and richest experience in this field rarely published in English. [28293031]…”

“…1 Moreover, contusive trauma or malocclusion-related periodontal disease can severely compromise the upper anterior teeth, leading to labial bone resorption, loss of function and unsightly root exposure. 2 Deterioration of the periodontium must be addressed prior to orthodontic treatment but re-establishing the original structure, properties and function of the diseased periodontium presents a significant challenge.…”
