Immediate Implants in the Aesthetic Zone

Universidad de Murcia20 enrolled

Overview

The use of immediate implants in the aesthetic area is a technique widely used in modern implantology. The characteristics of the patient, the implant, and the surgical procedure used may influence the final results. The aim was to assess whether the implant design affects primary (PS) and secondary stability (SS), bone level (BL), and PES/WES evaluation.

20 implants with two different designs (n=10) were immediately placed in the upper anterior maxilla with no grafting material. ISQ, BL, and PES/WES were evaluated. Results will analyze with the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (p\<0.05). The random distribution is made prior to assignment following the internet prgram https://www.random.org

Immediate dental implantsPROCEDURE

At the time of operation, the tooth was atraumatically extracted, and the implant was immediately placed following the surgical protocol recommended by the manufacturer. A temporary prosthesis was made without occlusal contact.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Bone level

The bone level (BL) was determined by an intraoral digital radiograph taken parallel to the long axis of the implant. The distance from the implant neck to the first contact between the bone and the implant was determined. It was measured in both sides, mesial and distal, and the mean between both values was established as the BL value.

Time frame: After 12 months of definitive implant load

PES/WES

Pink Esthetic Score/White Esthetic Score \[PES/WES\] The parameters evaluated by this index are (1) mesial papilla, (2) distal papilla, (3) curvature of facial mucosa, (4) level of facial mucosa, and (5) root convexity/soft tissue color and texture. Each parameter range between 0 and 2. A maximum score of 10 can be obtained, considering acceptable from 6 The WES focuses specifically on the visible part of the restoration and in base on the following five parameters: (1) tooth form, (2) tooth volume/outline, (3) color (hue and value), (4) Surface texture, and (5) translucency. Each parameter is evaluated by comparison with the adjacent teeth, giving a value ranged from 0 to 2. A total score of 10 can be obtained, considering acceptable from 6
