Abstract
Objectives
This case series evaluates healing parameters of immediately placed implants in fresh extraction sockets without osteotomies. It examines resonance frequency analysis (RFA) trends and radiographic bone changes from placement to prosthetic restoration.
Material and Methods
The study reports on eight patients with 10 implants using a self-tapping, knife-shaped implant with progressive thread design and anatomical healing abutments. RFA values and standardized radiographs were recorded at three time points from placement to prosthetic restoration.
Results
Implants were placed in molar, premolar, and incisor sockets. All implants achieved insertion torque greater than 35 Ncm and high ISQ values. The median reported bone remodeling was 0.35 mm from implant placement to definitive restoration. RFA revealed a median of 64 ISQ buccolingually and 74 ISQ mesiodistally at placement, increasing to 76 ISQ buccolingually and 82 ISQ mesiodistally pre-prosthetically.
Conclusions
The findings suggest that immediate dental implants placed without osteotomies in select anatomical conditions can achieve successful osseointegration and functional stability. However, given the small sample size, further studies with larger cohorts are necessary to validate these results.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research aims to provide open access peer-reviewed publications of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work within all disciplines and fields of oral medicine and dentistry. The scope of Clinical and Experimental Dental Research comprises original research material on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of oro-facial, oro-pharyngeal and maxillofacial tissues, and functions and dysfunctions within the stomatognathic system, and the epidemiology, aetiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of diseases and conditions that have an effect on the homeostasis of the mouth, jaws, and closely associated structures, as well as the healing and regeneration and the clinical aspects of replacement of hard and soft tissues with biomaterials, and the rehabilitation of stomatognathic functions. Studies that bring new knowledge on how to advance health on the individual or public health levels, including interactions between oral and general health and ill-health are welcome.
