Immediate Implant Placement Guided by the Roots of Multiradicular Teeth Clinical Trial
Official title:
Accuracy of Tooth Guided Immediate Implant Placement at Molar Region
Introduction: The concept of immediate implant placement has become popular due to reduced
trauma and reduced overall treatment time. Removal of molar teeth provides a challenging and
intriguing dilemma due to multiple root morphology. In cases of extraction and immediate
placement of implants in the molar region, removal of the inter-radicular septum should be
avoided to attain initial implant stability at the time of placement, and prevent slipping of
the implant into the extraction socket. Following this technique prevents the slippage of the
implant and allows the implant to be guided into the inter-radicular septum.
Objectives: To assess the accuracy of implant placement using the remaining roots of
multi-radicular mandibular molars, evaluate bone density around implants and implant
stability in fresh extracted site.
Materials and Methods: A prospective study was done on 10 patients with badly destructed
mandibular molars. The technique of implant insertion consisted of a progressive preparation
of the implant site using the anatomy of the root of the multi-radicular mandibular molars to
be extracted as a reference and as an aid to engage the inter-radicular septum.
