Teeth

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Summary

This study presents an immediate, chair-side technique for replacing missing front teeth using the patient's own tooth as a pontic. Platelet-rich fibrin aids healing, preserving aesthetics and arch stability with minimal tooth preparation.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Oral Surgery
Periodontology

Background:

Sudden anterior tooth loss impacts aesthetics and function.
Treatment options include prosthetics and implants.
Immediate provisional restoration is crucial for patient well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe an immediate, chair-side technique for replacing single missing anterior teeth.
To evaluate the use of the patient's natural tooth as a pontic.
To assess the benefits of platelet-rich fibrin in wound healing and ridge preservation.

Main Methods:

Utilized the patient's natural tooth as a pontic for immediate restoration.
Employed platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) for enhanced healing and ridge preservation.
Preserved abutment teeth with minimal or no preparation, ensuring reversibility.

Main Results:

Successful immediate esthetic and functional rehabilitation in three patients.
Preservation of alveolar ridge shape and early wound healing observed.
Minimized need for laboratory procedures and abutment tooth preparation.

Conclusions:

The described technique offers a viable, immediate, and cost-effective solution for single anterior tooth loss.
This approach enhances patient psychological tolerance and maintains natural aesthetics.
Preserving the natural tooth and utilizing PRF promotes optimal healing and ridge stability.
