Immediate implant placement following a modified trephine/osteotome approach: success rates of 116 implants to 4
Purpose:
A technique is presented which utilizes a trephine with a 3.0-mm external diameter followed by an osteotome to implode a core of maxillary posterior alveolar bone prior to immediate implant placement.
Materials And Methods:
The technique and its indications and contraindications are described in detail.
Results:
One hundred sixteen implants were placed and uncovered utilizing this technique. Two implants were mobile at the time of uncovering.
Discussion:
One hundred fourteen implants were restored and have been functioning successfully for up to 4 years according to the Albrektsson criteria, yielding a success rate of 98.3%.
Conclusion:
No implants have been lost or are failing in function.
