The All-on-4® treatment concept (Nobel Biocare) within the framework of fixed implant-borne total rehabilitation for the maxilla and mandible is a scientifically proven and clinically prescribed therapy.

The All-on-4® surgical protocol, developed at the end of the 1990s by Paolo Malo, provides simple and immediate full-arch rehabilitation for edentulous patients with 12 fixed teeth on just 4 implants, with immediate loading, no later than 24 hours after the operation.

In the clinical study chosen for this issue of the "IFCIA newsletter", we provide a stage-by-stage description of mandible rehabilitation development using a fixed prosthesis based on a simple, accurate and standard protocol and quick execution, restoring the patient's masticatory function and aesthetics.

In this retrospective study, 44 patients received screw-retained full-arch acrylic resin provisional prostheses connected on 4 or 6 implants in the mandible or maxilla, respectively. With a mean follow-up of 17.6 months, 3 of 205 implants were lost and replaced successfully. Cosmetic fractures were observed and fixed in six patients. 

The results confirmed that immediate loading of 4 mandibular or 6 maxillary implants with an acrylic resin prosthesis for full-arch rehabilitation is a reliable technique in the short- and long-term.

In this special edition of Le Fil Dentaire published in September 2017 on "Bone management in implantology", we have included numerous clinical cases which in order to cover the most common approaches in our daily work, based on a well-defined therapeutic gradient.

The term "emergency" describes the onset of a painful, acute phenomenon requiring a precise diagnosis so it can be treated quickly and correctly. This last point is particularly important when dealing with a periodontal emergency, in which gum pain is often associated with extensive tissue impairment with a high risk of deterioration. Among periodontal diseases, periodontal abscesses and necrotic periodontal diseases are among the most frequent reasons for emergency consultations. Nevertheless, even if their prevalence is minimal, certain gum diseases which are not induced by plaque, are also characterised by intense pain, which, beyond the periodontal repercussions, may also compromise the patient's health considerably.

Immediate loading: a comfortable solution for the patient.

In this issue of the "IFCIA Newsletter", we are dealing with complete oral rehabilitation after the extraction of multiple teeth, placement of implants, MCI and prosthetic construction. The use of simple and accurate protocols enabled us to optimise the restoration of the masticatory function and the aesthetic requests of the patient.

The "socket shield" technique seems beneficial to the patient. It incorporates the benefits of immediate implant placement with provisional restoration. The patient undergoes one intervention and benefits from fixed implant-supported prosthesis on the day of the surgery.

Abstract

Background: Few large-scale follow-up studies are reported on routine implant treatment.

Purpose: To report retrospective data on early inflammatory and early implant failures in a large number of routine patients at one private referral clinic.

Abstract:

The loss of a dental organ normally causes bone resorption, —a topic widely discussed in scientific and clinical journals. In order to optimise the results of both the biomechanics and aesthetics of the incisive section, reconstruction of the tissue lost is required. Both hard and soft tissue are involved.

Several techniques have been developed and applied; bone grafts, guided bone regeneration, vertical and horizontal osteotomies, connective tissue grafts to name but a few... with the single objective of getting closer to the initial state of the teeth and obtaining satisfactory, stable and long-lasting results.

Résumé :

Une patiente est adressée pour un avis de réhabilitation implanto-portée en remplaçement des dents n° 24 et 25. Elles présentent des atteintes endodontiques et parodontales importantes rendant leur pronostic défavorable.

Le CBCT révèle un volume osseux satisfaisant ce qui a orienté notre choix thérapeutique, malgré la perte d’une table osseuse vestibulaire, vers l’option de l’extraction-implantation associée à une régénération osseuse guidée simultanée à une mise en esthétique immédiate.

Ce protocole permet de réduire considérablement le nombre d’interventions et offre un confort très apprécié par les patients.

Abstract:

Immediate extraction implantation is a technique which has been used and approved with a clinical track record. Loading immediately after the implant is put in place is provided by a provisional crown. In the anterior sector, this approach has several advantages: on one hand, it provides the patient with significant aesthetic comfort and psychological ease, and on the other hand, on a morphological level, it helps to control the peri-implant mucosa healing process and maturation by preparing the site for pleasant and stable aesthetic outcomes over time.

In this clinical case, the stages of replacement of a central incisor presenting inflamed periradicular lesions of endodontic origin and bone fenestration (vestibular) will be described. The stages of extraction and immediate implantation associated with guided bone regeneration, connective tissue grafts and the placement of a immediate provisional crown have also been extensively described.
