Procedure
For a long term success rate in immediate implants, the doctors would require an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan. There could be specific indications to obtain immediate implants, such as to attain primary stability with the right implant in an ideal therapeutic manner. Soft tissue, the quality, and quantity of the bone, the presence of pathology, and the condition of the adjacent teeth need to be taken into consideration while planning for an immediate implant.
Immediate implants will keep certain aspects during the procedure so that unnecessary mistakes can be avoided. The elements would include the presence of a buccal plate, primary stability, implant design, filling the gap between the buccal plate and the implant and the tissue biotype.
The doctor would initially rinse the patient’s mouth with a solution, and local anesthesia will be administered. When a particular area is numb, the damaged tooth will be extracted. The damaged or broken teeth would be carefully removed from the socket so that the other area around the bone would not get damaged. The implant is placed for primary stability to the root of the tooth. With the help of an abutment, the dentist will place a crown, which becomes the new tooth.
Immediate implants are considered to be a viable and predictable solution for missing teeth. This minimally invasive surgical technique helps to preserve the gingival aesthetics, which is a boon to the patient in the long run.
