Early implant placement is one treatment option for implant therapy following a single-tooth extraction in the anterior maxilla. In this article some key factors are presented to analyze and follow in an effort to obtain a predictable and acceptable esthetic result. The creation of predictable peri-implant esthetics requires proper preservation of the osseous and soft tissues around the failing...

Oral rehabilitation for a patient with severe loss of alveolar bone and soft tissue resulting from severe periodontitis presents a challenge to clinicians. Replacing loosening natural teeth with fixed prostheses supported by dental implants often requires either gingival surgery or bone grafting. The outcome of the bone grafting is sometimes unpredictable and requires longer healing time and/ o...

objectives: with side effects of antibiotics taken into consideration, the necessity of antibiotic therapy after simple implant placement procedures is still a subject of debate and the existing literature on this topic is widely controversial. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of postoperative amoxicillin therapy on early colonization of peri-implant sulcus after implant placement...

the biological interaction between the jaw bones and dental implant is fundamental for the long-term success of dental implant placement. nevertheless, the insufficient bone volume remains a major clinical problem, especially in case of immediate dental implant. using a canine model, the present study proves the regenerative potential of adipose- derived stem cells (adscs) to repair peri-implan...

Little is known about longitudinal development of the peri-implant subgingival microbiome and cytokine production as a new sulcus forms after dental implant placement. Therefore, the purpose of this observational study was to evaluate simultaneous longitudinal changes in the oral microbiome and cytokine production in the developing peri-implant sulcus compared to control natural teeth. Four and...

Early and immediate implant placement with a root-analog implant design is a well established and proven protocol for placing dental implants. Results of more than 25 years of clinical and statistical data indicate that predictable long-term success can be achieved . Moreover, immediate placement offers significant benefits to both the patient and the clinician. The number of surgeries is minim...

Implants placed shortly after tooth extraction have proven to be a predictable treatment modality. The number of surgical appointments and length of surgical phase are reduced, thereby preserving hard and soft tissue configuration. However, there are some limitations to early implant placement. These include a probable lack of soft tissue closure over the extraction site, difficulty in matching...

PURPOSE The objectives of this systematic review are (1) to quantitatively estimate the esthetic outcomes of implants placed in postextraction sites, and (2) to evaluate the influence of simultaneous bone augmentation procedures on these outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic and manual searches of the dental literature were performed to collect information on esthetic outcomes based on o...
