Abstract :
The anterior maxilla represents a therapeutic challenge for single-tooth replacement with implants. The surgical trauma delivered to soft and hard tissues during implant placement can influence the future esthetic result. The clinician should use surgical techniques that prevent esthetic complications, such as increased crown length or loss of interdental papillae, without compromising osseointegration. This prospective study investigated the interproximal crestal bone loss occurring after placement of single-tooth implants using 2 different flap designs: a widely mobilized flap design that included papillae, and a limited flap design that protected papillae. The interproximal crestal bone loss was of practical importance and statistically significantly less following the use of a limited flap design versus the widely mobilized flap procedure.

Immediate postextraction implant placement with root-analog stepped implants: surgical procedure and statistical outcome after 6 years.

Abstract :
The present study investigated 124 stepped-screw implants (gritblasted and acid-etched surface) placed in 104 patients immediately after tooth extraction or implant explantation and followed between August 1990 and December 1996. Implants of varying diameters and lengths were used to cover a wide range of indications in both the maxilla and mandible; 68% of the implants supported single-tooth replacements. The study parameters included Plaque Index, Gingival Index, probing depth, Periotest values, and peri-implant bone loss. Statistical analysis according to Kaplan-Meier revealed a 97% survival rate.
