Immediate Dental Implants Enriched with L-PRF in the Esthetic Zone

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Oral Surgery
• Regenerative Medicine

Background:

• Congenitally missing permanent teeth and retained deciduous teeth in the anterior esthetic region present significant treatment challenges.
• Immediate implant placement combined with L-PRF offers a potential solution for preserving bone and achieving optimal esthetics.

Observation:

• A 24-year-old female patient presented with retained deciduous teeth and congenitally missing permanent successors in the upper anterior region.
• Extraction of deciduous teeth was followed by immediate implant placement and L-PRF membrane application in the same surgical session.

Findings:

• Immediate temporization with composite crowns was performed on the placed dental implants.
• After a 3-month healing period, final zirconia porcelain crowns were placed.
• A 12-month follow-up demonstrated satisfactory esthetic and functional results.

Implications:

• This clinical application demonstrates the viability of immediate implant placement with L-PRF and immediate loading for anterior esthetic rehabilitation.
• The technique shows promise for improving patient outcomes in cases of congenital tooth absence.
• Further research can explore long-term efficacy and broader applications of L-PRF in implant dentistry.
