Immediate Dental Implant: an overview with two case reports

Implant placement - timing

Immediate implant placement (IIP) – Type 1 procedure

Early placement with soft tissue healing (6-8 weeks) – Type 2 procedure

Early placement with partial bone healing (12-16 weeks) –Type 3 procedure

Late placement after healing is complete (After 6months) – Type 4 procedure

advantages & disadvantages of IIP

postulated

non-conclusive

based on case reports

Immediate Esthetics &

Socio-psychological wellbeing

preservation of alveolar bone

profile & overlying soft tissue

contour A catabolic phase of atrophy of

bone & recession of the overlying

soft tissue following loss of tooth

support – immediate implant

maintains this structural and

functional support

Better Esthetics

guide the final position of the implant - whether

you want the original tooth position or an

alteration based on esthetic & occlusal demand

multiple implants simultaneously after

multiple extractions – sockets gives an idea

of the arch form and occlusion

Socket acts as guide (not determine)

for the drill and the final position of

the implant- prosthesis

No second surgery…

Treatment time is reduced

Patients are deterred from traditional implant

procedures because of prolonged treatment time

Higher chance of error (technique sensitive)

and clinically more demanding

case selection

drilling

extraction

socket management

grafting

temporary crown

Graft for filling the residual space

is prone to infection..

adequate antibiotics and hygiene

High chance of contamination of the graft by

the oral microbes without proper seal

Residual space because the socket anatomy is

not compatible with implant shape n size

IIP done in 2 patients

helped us evaluate

CASE 1

- non-smoker, healthy, young medico

- carious broken 25 with repeated episodes

of pulpitis

- wants an immediate prosthesis after

extraction

- does not want RCT or surgical endodontic

CASE 2

- non-smoker, tourist from Florida in his

early forties

- root stump 25 with gutta perch remnants

which he wanted to restore

After the abutment is

screw-tightened to the

implant fixture, the

crown was luted to the

abutment with composite

material - crown and

abutment becomes a

single unit

The aperture on the

crown provides a

pathway to the

abutment screw while

removing or tightening

the abutment-crown as

a single unit

Avoid IIP if…

Local infection including periodontitis

Fracture of socket wall or fenestration(>5mm)

Thin tissue biotype – chance of resorption of facial

bony wall and gingival recession

Type 2 or 3 procedure

Good time for grafting

procedures

Soft tissue

becomes thick

Atraumatic extraction to preserve thealveolar bone..

for a clinically firm implant fixture

… Raise flap to expose, visualize and carefully

preserve socket bone (avoid flap if

damage to the wall can be avoided)

… Insert a threaded post into the

root stump and pull

… Make a window at the apical bone and push

the root tip occlusally away from the apex of

the socket

… Bur

… Periotome, luxators

Methods



Socket to guide but not determine the drill direction

Drill to extend 2-4 mm beyond

the apex of socket

Drill to slide 2mm to the palatal aspect to avoid

contact with thin labial bone..1 mm space to be

maintained between implant and labial bone

Drill not to contact the

labial bone

Anchorage to be

obtained from the

bone apical to the

socket



Prefer a tapered implant

- prevent cutting of excessive bone and fenestration or dehiescence of bone; stronger structural support

- more easily allowplacement of the implant in original tooth position

Since tapered implant is not much

displaced from the natural tooth

position… natural emergence profile

of prosthesis

Cylindrical implant may need palatal

displacement to prevent dehiescence

on facial wall



Debridement of periodontal ligament

… to remove soft tissue barrier and permit osseointegration



Graft the residual space

…implant dimension incompatible with socket

…graft when more than 2mm gap at the implant-boneinterface on the facial wall of the socket

Grafting for repairing of socket

wall or dehiescence requires firm

soft tissue cover ..type 2 or 3

procedure



Prophylactive antibiotics and aseptic technique critical

Grafting materials prone to

infection

Some infection usually

associated with the

extracted tooth



Single stage-surgery

in both the cases

Extraction, implant placement,

grafting, abutment attachment

and temporary crown on the same

day



A single-unit implant in 1st case

..space around the implant neck creating a

pocket inspite of graft placement

Should have put a membrane

over the graft for GBR



A 2-unit implant (meant for 2 stage surgery)

in the 2nd case ..excellent adaptation to

bone at the neck of the implant

… no residual space visible



The implants are clinically firm after

insertion in both cases



Excellent esthetics, immediately and

later, in both the cases

Both the patients extremely happy

(inspite of pain for 5 days in the 2nd patient)

Pain in the 2nd patient

could be attributed to

pressure of the implant

on the bone



Graft filling of the space after

implant insertion is tedious

Filling the socket first with

graft and inserting the implant

may be an option

Primary closure of the soft tissue to cover the graft was

achieved in both cases…no collagen membrane was used



Temporary crown is for esthetics…

loading after 3 months

A temporary crown durable in shade

and strength - acrylic denture teeth



based on the 2 cases, available case reports and the lack of

controlled studies …

1. Expect NO MORE than the immediate

restoration of esthetics as advantage over

conventional techniques

When esthetics is of no concern,

opt for the type4 procedure

Load bearing of the implant is initially dependent upon the

strength of the structural support and not on

osseointegration…Osseointegration does not increase

the strength of the support..



2. Immediate Loading to be done with

caution despite claims of success

…caution against micromovement

…Osseointegration prevents the formation of a

fibrous layer at the implant-bone interface and

maintain the bone-implant bond in the long

run

2. Immediate Loading to be done with

caution despite claims of success

…caution against micromovement

Rigid Splinting of an avulsed tooth is not unduly

prolonged to allow for some physiological movement

and prevent ankylosis…but the objective of implant

is osseointegration(ankylosis)… so caution against

micromovement !!!





3. Two unit implant with a separate

abutment is preferable despite the

problem of loosening

… Flexibility in choosing

abutment design

… Flexibility in changing to a

more aesthetic abutment as the

situation demands – Ceramic

abutment



4. Prefer a ceramic implant which

match the shade of the

patient’s dentition

If bone resorption and gingival

recession, the exposed

hardware will be relatively

more acceptable



5. A long term controlled study is

imperative to develop a

standard protocol for IIP
