Implantologia a carico immediato con impianti postestrattivi root-form e contestuale rigenerazione ossea: caso clinico

ObjectivesIn this study, the immediate placement and loading of a fixed bridge implant supported prosthesis is described and discussed in view of the recent advancements in understanding immediate loading techniques and factors affecting their success.Materials and methodsA patient showing residual dental elements all compromised was treated by placing six rootform implants in the extraction sockets located in the upper jaw and by grafting the implant-bone gaps with an equine bone substitute. On the following day the final prosthesis was delivered.ResultsFollow-up controls showed that soft and hard tissue levels were maintained up to 24 months after surgery.ConclusionsThe adopted surgical strategy allowed for primary stability, implant osseointegration and therefore clinical success.
