Clinical analysis of immediate implant and implant-supported complete denture for 12 patients with severe periodontitis / 中华口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate clinical results of implant-supported complete denture of 12 patients with severe chronic periodontitis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>After systematically periodontic treatment and controlling the inflammation, 12 cases with severe chronic periodontitis were extracted the residual teeth and received immediate implant placement. The implant-supported complete dentures were finished at 5 or 6 months after operation. Restorative results were evaluated with clinical examination, radiological examination and chief complaints of the patients.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 108 implants were placed into 20 dental arches, including 37 immediate implants. Average loading was for 3 years and all implants were stable. Progressive bone resorption was observed around two implants. The average bone resorption of other peri-implants was (1.33 +/- 0.10) mm. The implant survival rate was 98.1%. The immediate implant survival rate was 97.3%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>After periodontic treatment, the patients with severe chronic periodontitis could be restored using immediate implant placement and implant-supported complete denture. It can shorten the treatment period, reduce absorption of alveolar and obtain a favorable result by oral health care.</p>
