  • biological aspects as a rule for single Implant placement the 3a 2b rule a clinical report
    Journal of Prosthodontics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Fernando Rojasvizcaya
    Abstract:

    For an Implant Restoration to be both esthetically and functionally successful, the prosthodontist must conduct a thorough treatment plan and complete a prosthesis design. The prosthodontist must carefully calculate the space needed for the Restoration and soft tissue in the Restoration process. The Restoration and soft tissue are affected by the three-dimensional (3D) position of the Implant, as the Implant's depth determines the ideal length of the crown. When determining the 3D position of the Implant, the clinician must consider the biological aspects required to ensure the Restoration's biological integration with the patient's hard and soft tissues. The Restoration must be the first component considered in the treatment plan. In addition, the clinician must understand that the distance between the cervical contour (of the planned Restoration) and the level of the bone will dictate how the surgical and prosthetic treatment plan is enacted. In this report, a novel Radiographic Biological Ruler© (with biological information) was used to help facilitate the treatment plan's analysis.

  • esthetic rehabilitation of maxillary anterior teeth including an immediate provisionalization with an Implant supported fixed dental prosthesis
    Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019
    Co-Authors: Kyung Chul Oh, Jeongwon Paik
    Abstract:

    This report describes the case of a patient who required rehabilitation of their maxillary anterior teeth following a traumatic injury through a physical altercation. The decision was made to extract the maxillary central incisors and maxillary right lateral incisor, perform immediate Implantation on the maxillary right lateral incisor and left central incisor areas, and place a three-unit immediate provisional Restoration. Predesigned virtual teeth enabled efficient fabrication of the immediate provisional Restoration following the Implant placement. After a sufficient healing period with periodic check-ups, final impressions were made using a digital approach, with meticulous care taken to preserve the gingival architecture around the sites of rehabilitation. Thus, the custom abutments and definitive Restoration were placed without eliciting an uncomfortable feeling in the patient. Both esthetic and functional outcomes were satisfactory. Reduced soft tissue volume around the Implant Restoration was observed, primarily within the two months post-extraction/Implantation, based on superimposition of the serial scan data. Soft tissue volume changes in the present case suggest the need for controlled clinical studies of three-dimensional changes of gingival contours after extraction and/or Implantation.
