Area of Science:

Dentistry
Oral Surgery
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Residual root tip extraction and subsequent dental implant placement present significant clinical challenges due to procedural complexity and invasiveness.
Conventional methods can lead to complications and extended recovery times, necessitating improved surgical strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To present an innovative clinical technique for minimally invasive residual root tip extraction and implant placement.
To demonstrate the efficacy of combining 3-dimensionally printed surgical guides with conventional instrumentation.

Main Methods:

Development and application of a novel surgical technique integrating a 3D-printed surgical guide.
Utilizing conventional instrumentation in conjunction with the custom-designed surgical guide for extraction and implant placement.
Focus on achieving a minimally invasive and predictable surgical outcome.

Main Results:

Successful extraction of residual root tips using the described technique.
Facilitation of predictable implant placement following minimally invasive extraction.
Demonstration of the technique's potential to overcome the complexities associated with conventional approaches.

Conclusions:

The combination of 3D-printed surgical guides and conventional instrumentation provides an effective solution for challenging residual root tip extraction and implant placement.
This innovative approach enhances predictability and minimizes invasiveness, offering a valuable alternative for clinicians.
