Kavčič J, Božič M. Immediate implant placement and immediate loading after dental trauma. J Case Rep Images Dent 2018;4:100026Z07JK2018.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Traumatic dental injuries represent 5% of all trauma cases where people seek medical assistance. Teeth with a hopeless prognosis can be extracted and immediately replaced with dental implants. Immediate implant placement and immediate loading is a good alternative to a removable interim prosthesis, supports soft tissues, and shortens the time between the first visit and the final prosthetic rehabilitation.
Case Report: A patient with three severely traumatized teeth in the anterior maxilla is presented. Atraumatic extraction was followed by immediate implants placement and immediate loading with provisional prostheses. The patient was satisfied with the treatment outcome. A good aesthetic and functional result was achieved.
Conclusion: In complex traumatic dental injuries, immediate implant placement and immediate loading present an acceptable treatment option.
Keywords: Dental trauma, Implants, Immediate implants, Immediate loading
