Summary

Immediate versus delayed placement of laser-treated dental implants showed comparable 100% survival rates. This suggests both fresh socket and healed site placement are predictable for these advanced implants.

Area of Science:

Dental Implantology
Biomaterials Science
Oral Surgery

Background:

Dental implant surface treatments, like laser modification, aim to enhance osseointegration.
Platform switching is a design feature used in dental implants to manage soft tissue levels and crestal bone.
Comparing immediate and delayed implant placement protocols is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the predictability and performance of laser-treated dental implants with platform switching.
To compare outcomes between immediate (post-extraction) and delayed implant placement in healed sites.
To assess the survival rates of these specific implants over a 12-month follow-up period.

Main Methods:

A prospective study involving 44 GEASS Srl dental implants with laser-treated surfaces and morse taper connections.

Implants were placed in post-exodontia (immediate) and healed sites across maxillary and mandibular regions.

Patient demographics, implant characteristics, and bone grafting use were recorded; survival rates were monitored for at least 12 months.

Main Results:

Both immediate and delayed implant placement groups achieved 100% survival rates.
Implants placed in fresh extraction sockets demonstrated similar performance to those placed in mature bone sites.
No significant differences were observed between the immediate and delayed placement protocols at the 12-month follow-up.

Conclusions:

Laser-treated dental implants with morse taper connections and platform switching exhibit predictable performance.
Immediate placement in fresh extraction sockets is a viable option, yielding results comparable to delayed placement in healed sites.
The findings support the use of this implant system in various clinical scenarios, offering high survival rates regardless of placement timing.
