Teeth

418
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...

Tooth Anatomy

471
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Summary

Maintaining patient function during dental implant rehabilitation is crucial. Utilizing remaining teeth for a fixed provisional prosthesis supports implant integration and graft healing, offering a viable transition strategy.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Dental rehabilitation often requires tooth extraction and implant placement.
  • Managing remaining teeth impacts implant timing and provisionalization methods.
  • Maintaining patient function during this process is a key clinical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review strategies for sequential tooth removal, grafting, and implant placement.
  • To evaluate methods for using existing teeth to support provisional prostheses.
  • To provide surgeons with a reference for maintaining patient function during rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of PubMed (1990-2022) for peer-reviewed articles.
  • Inclusion of studies on immediate implant placement in extraction sites and transitioning techniques.
  • Data collection from systematic reviews, clinical series, and case reports.

Main Results:

  • Immediate implant placement in extraction sites carries a relative risk of failure compared to healed sites.
  • Using non-restorable teeth for fixed provisional prostheses proved successful.
  • Statistical analysis was limited by reporting variability in transitioning methods.

Conclusions:

  • Surgeons should leverage remaining teeth for support during treatment phases.
  • A fixed provisional prosthesis aids implant integration and graft healing.
  • While specific transitioning methods lack strong evidence, routine techniques are reported.
