In immediate implants, the use of re-absorbable membranes in collagen helps preserve the vestibular bone profile.

The authors used magnesium-enriched hydroxyapatite (MHA) to fi ll the peri-implant defects in immediate sockets and observed that the bone recovery in the presence of this fi ller helped to better preserve the profi le of the bone crest in the absence of biomaterials. The difference was not significant.

This experimental study in dogs showed how the vertical height of buccal bone reabsorption in immediate post-extraction sites is greater if the vestibular bone theca is thin.

IMMEDIATE IMPLANTS AT EXTRACTION SOCKETS: CRITICAL FACTORS ON TISSUE HEALING

This extensive revision of the literature, which involved 4 studies on Sweden & Martina implants out of a total of 12, evaluated the critical factors of post-extraction implants. In order to limit the inevitable reabsorption of the buccal wall, the clinical results of the studies indicate the use of implants with a smaller diameter, which must be positioned more towards the lingual/palate side.

Immediate implants are currently considered an effective therapeutic option in maxillary and/or mandibular arch rehabilitations of edentulous or partially edentulous patients. Often the bone defi cits around the implant require regenerative therapies. Barrier membranes were often used in these
procedures and in some cases were accompanied by an early exposure in the oral cavity that could explain the poor clinical results recorded as evidence. The paper describes case of an immediate implant with a vestibular bone defi cit treated with the use of an autologous grafting of plasma rich platelet.

This seven-year study was carried out on 40 immediate post-extraction Premium implants inserted with the flapless technique in 40 patients, then subjected to immediate non-functional loading. Cumulative survival rate was 97.5% (with confidence interval from 92.7% to 100%). Crestal resorption, which was 0.4±0.5 mm at 1 year, subsequently stabilized, and was 0.6 ±0.5 mm at 7 years. The height of the buccal soft tissues and the papilla index instead showed no significant differences with time. The flapless technique in protocols with immediate implants was therefore found to be effective.

IMMEDIATE LOADING POST-EXTRACTION WITH SIMPLE TECHNIQUE AND PLATFORM SWITCHING

The extraction of teeth in aesthetically important areas requires the implant dentist to make a serious evaluation of the existing soft tissues. If the soft tissues (papillae, height of the gingival edge) that surround the tooth to be extracted are adequate, the simplest and most predictable method for maintaining them is certainly a post-extraction implant immediately loaded with a temporary prosthesis that adequately supports the existing gingival tissues on three dimensions. If, on the other hand, the soft tissues are insufficient, it is recommended to adopt a two-stage procedure to reconstruct and increase the bone and gingival tissues with Langer or Ice Cream techniques. In this article we deal with the first case (adequate existing soft tissues).
In choosing the most suitable materials to make a post-extraction implant with immediate loading, it appears very important to use strongly self-threading implants with large spires, able to obtain elevated primary stability even inside morphologically complex sockets. On the subject of temporary prosthetic posts, it appears fundamental to choose posts that have the first apical 2 mm (=biological width) of biocompatible material (titanium) so as to facilitate the attachment of the gingival tissues to the post,
thus preventing an anti-aesthetic apical migration of the tissues. Lastly, an implant with platform switching guarantees less reabsorption of the peri-implant bone, thus allowing the aesthetic result obtained to be maintained over time.
