A clinical application of Mx-Grafter in the immediate dental implantation / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of autogenous graftin g material of the maxillary tuberosity harvested by Mx grafter in the application of immediate implantation . Methods: 25 implants were i mmediately placed in tooth extraction sockets in 21 patients (7 females and 14 males) respectively, Autogenous grafting material of maxillary tuberosity harve sted by Mx grafter was used as a gap filling or defect restoring material arou nd screw type root form implant. Defect height and width were measured at the ti me of implant placement and at second stage surgery. Results: 3～4 months postoperatively, all implants demonstrated clinical stabilit y and the gap or defects were replaced with newly formed bone at second stage s urgery.All the implants were in function. Conclusions: Th e technique described affords a simplified and predictable manner for placement of implants into immediate tooth extraction sockets.
