Summary
Immediate implant placement in infected sites is feasible with a specific protocol. This involves antibiotics, thorough cleaning, antisepsis, and ensuring implant stability, preserving treatment benefits.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
- Implantology
Background:
- Immediate implant placement offers reduced treatment time and preserves anatomy.
- Infection in extraction sockets poses a challenge for immediate implant success.
- Lack of established protocols for managing infected sites in immediate implantology.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report clinical outcomes of a protocol for immediate implant placement and provisionalization in infected extraction sockets.
- To introduce a classification for implant surface compromise in infected sites.
Main Methods:
- Application of a clinical protocol including antibiotic therapy, surgical curettage, and antisepsis.
- Assessment of implant surface compromise in relation to infected tissue contact.
- Ensuring sufficient primary implant stability.
Main Results:
- The described protocol allows for successful immediate implant placement and provisionalization in infected sites.
- A classification system for implant surface compromise was developed for analysis.
Conclusions:
- Immediate implant placement and provisionalization are viable in infected extraction sockets.
- A structured clinical protocol is essential for managing infection and achieving successful outcomes.
