Summary

Dental implants in adolescents show success, but timing is crucial. Consider skeletal maturity, not just age, to prevent infra-occlusion and bone loss around implants.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery
  • Orthodontics

Context:

  • Adolescent patients with missing teeth due to congenital absence or trauma.
  • Late dental stage implants used for tooth replacement.
  • Follow-up period of at least 3 years.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the success of dental implants in adolescents.
  • To identify factors influencing implant outcomes in growing patients.
  • To determine optimal timing for implant placement in relation to skeletal maturation.

Summary:

  • Twenty-seven dental implants were placed in 15 adolescents (age 13.2-19.4 years).
  • No implant fixture losses occurred over the follow-up period.
  • Minor bone loss at the fixture and some loss on adjacent tooth surfaces were observed.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Infra-occlusion of implant restorations occurred in patients with residual craniofacial growth.
  • Adequate mesio-distal space for fixtures is important to prevent marginal bone loss.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of assessing dental and skeletal maturation over chronological age for successful implant outcomes in adolescents.
    • Emphasizes the need for sufficient interproximal space to avoid complications.
    • Provides insights for optimizing treatment planning for dental implants in growing individuals.
