Résumé
BACKGROUND: The immediate implantation in the anterior maxillary region is in a high risk of aesthetic complications. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prognosis of the labial bone plate after anterior maxillary repair with immediate implant combined with immediate restoration. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with single failed tooth in the anterior maxillary region were subjected to implantation of ZIMMER implants immediately after minimally invasive extraction. Good primary stability was achieved and immediate restoration was carried out. Final restoration was finished after 6-12 months of osteosynthesis and gingival shaping. The loading situation of the labial bone plate was recorded at 6 months post operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Final restoration was finished with normal loading in all the patients. No bleeding and swelling of the gingiva was recorded. The horizontal absorption of the labial bone plate at the upper margin, 5 mm and 10 mm below the upper margin was (-2.12±0.05), (-1.54±0.04), and (-1.01±0.06) mm, respectively. Therefore, absorption of the labial bone plate with varying degrees exists after anterior maxillary repair with immediate implant combined with immediate restoration.
Résumé
The fused tooth is the union of two dental enamel or dentin formed together. In the maxillary, the fusion usually occurred within the lateral incisor and canine and very rarely occurred in the upper third molar and supernumerary tooth. This paper reported a fused tooth occurred in the left maxillary impacted third molar with supernumerary tooth.
