Summary
Immediate implantology is more complex for canines and older patients. Bone dimensions decrease with age and are lower in women, impacting treatment predictability.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Oral Surgery
- Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Background:
- Traditional dental implant protocols involve a 2-3 month healing period post-extraction.
- Immediate implantology is an alternative approach gaining traction.
- Understanding bone dimensions is crucial for immediate implant success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the prevalence of different socket types and bone dimensions around upper anterior incisors and canines.
- To determine the predictability of immediate implant placement in the studied population.
Main Methods:
- Observational, cross-sectional study utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.
- Analysis of anterior maxilla in patients seeking implant treatment.
- Measurement of bone dimensions and classification of dental sockets.
Main Results:
- Bone attachment levels and cortical thickness are reduced in women compared to men.
- Bone attachment levels decrease with increasing age.
- Canine sockets exhibit greater reductions in bone dimensions compared to incisors, particularly in older patients.
Conclusions:
- Immediate implantology presents greater complexity for canine teeth.
- Increasing patient age correlates with increased complexity and unfavorable socket conditions for immediate implants.
