SealPrint: The anatomically replicated seal-and-support socket abutment technique A Proof-of-Concept with 12 months of follow-up
Objectives
This study aimed at investigating a novel technique for designing and manufacturing a sealing socket abutment (SSA) using artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tooth segmentation and 3D printing technologies.
Methods
A validated AI-powered module was used to segment the tooth to be replaced on the presurgical Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan. Following virtual surgical planning, the CBCT and intraoral scan (IOS) were imported into Mimics software. The AI-segmented tooth was aligned with the IOS, sliced horizontally at the temporary abutment's neck, and further trimmed 2 mm above the gingival margin to capture the emergence profile. A conical cut, 2 mm wider than the temporary abutment with a 5° taper, was applied for a passive fit.
This process produced a custom sealing socket abutment, which was then 3D-printed. After atraumatic tooth extraction and immediate implant placement, the temporary abutment was positioned, followed by the SealPrint atop. A flowable composite was used to fill the gap between the temporary abutment and the SealPrint; the whole structure sealing the extraction socket, providing by design support for the interdental papilla and protecting the implant and (bio)materials used.
Results
True to planning, the SealPrint passively fits on the temporary abutment. It provides an optimal seal over the entire surface of the extraction socket, preserving the emergence profile of the extracted tooth, protecting the dental implant and stabilizing the graft material and blood clot.
Conclusions
The SealPrint technique provides a reliable and fast solution for protection and preservation of the soft-, hard-tissues and emergence profile following immediate implant placement.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
