ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of Straumann implant on crown appearance in the immediate implant restoration of maxillary anterior teeth.@*METHODS@#This study was conducted among 86 patients undergoing immediate implant restoration of maxillary anterior teeth between January and December, 2018. We randomized the patients into control group for treatment with immediate implant restoration and study group receiving additional Straumann implant. The effects of restoration, bone absorption at 6 months, implant length, implant diameter, root protrusion, gingival color, far and middle gingival papilla, lip side gingival height, near and middle gingival papilla, and lip side gingival curve were compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#The repair effect in the study group was better than that in the control group ( < 0.05). The implant length and implant diameter were significantly greater in the study group than in the control group. The root protrusion, gingival color, far and middle gingival papilla, lip side gingival height, near and middle gingival papilla, and lip side gingival curve were all better in the study group. The height of marginal bone in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( < 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Straumann implant can be used in immediate implant restoration of maxillary anterior teeth to achieve a better aesthetic effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyse the location of the mandibular canal,providing the theoretical basis for implanting and bone grafting. Methods Mandibular data of 83 Chinese people obtained by cone-beam computed tomography examination were collected. Results The distance from the mandibular canal to mandibular buccal wall was (5.32 ± 1.29)~(7.24 ± 1.29) mm. And the average distance from mandibular canal to mandibular lingual wall or inferior margin were respectively (3.43 ± .99) ~ (3.93 ± 1.17) mm and (8.81 ± 1.90) ~ (10.02 ± 2.19) mm. Significant differences between males and females were found in groups. The anterior loop was observed in 70.9%of all sides. The accessory mental foramen was observed in 10.84% of all sides. Conclusion For the remarkable mutation of the location of the mandibular canal in Chinese people, clinicians should be careful before implant or bone surgery procedures to minimize the risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury.
ABSTRACT
Fracture of multiple implants is rare.This report describes 1 case with the fracture of multiple implants related to occlusal over-load,bruxism,periodontitis and other factors in the posterior position.The fractured implants were removed and immediate reimplantation was performed.The panoramic film showed that the implants were integrated successfully 12 months after prosthesis.
