Anterior Mandibular Region for Immediate Implant Placement

Overview

Immediate implant placement has been proven to be a successful treatment modality, it is however considered a technique sensitive procedure, which mandates careful planning on basis of the recommended guidelines and thorough site assessment. The anatomical characteristics play a major role in the treatment planning, to determine that enough alveolar bone housing is available to accommodate the implant in the correct prosthetic-driven position and to avoid complications that may be caused by injury of the adjacent anatomical structures. There is scarcity in the literature regarding data on the anatomical features of the mandibular anterior zone in relevance to immediate implant planning. Analysis of the anatomical landmarks of the mandibular anterior region to determine the thickness of the labial and lingual alveolar bony plates, in addition to the bony socket configuration along with the labio-lingual socket dimension and relate them to immediate implant treatment planning
