AIMS:
1. What teeth are most susceptible to impaction?
2. What are some of the consequences of having impacted third molars and maxillary canines?
3. What are some of the advantages of immediate implant placement?
4. Considering the success rate, is it fair to say that immediate implant placement is a procedure worth performing?
METHODS:
Immediate implant placement has evolved from a pilot study to a predictable procedure. Several investigators have reported a success rate of 93.6% and above when implants are overseen …show more content…
Normally, these teeth are the last ones to erupt. Consequently, they have less space to emerge. This increases the probability of impaction. Impacted third molars frequently cause periodontal issues with the adjacent second molars due to pocket formation. Impacted maxillary canines can give rise to poor esthetics, orthodontic complications, and hampering of future implant placement in this area.
The main advantages of immediate implant placement is bone preservation, shorter treatment duration, and subjecting the patient to fewer surgical procedures. Rarely, there can be insufficient availability of alveolar bone. This would require the use of bone grafts to stimulate the alveolar bone. With a success rate of 93.6%, it is evident that immediate implant placement is a technique worth practicing. Patients are more likely to embrace this treatment plan over multiple surgical procedures.
CONCLUSION:
Treatment of impacted maxillary teeth can present challenges when implants are considered in that area. Preservation of the alveolar bone can allow for the immediate implant placement at the time of …show more content…
Bruce Seidburg explains that patients are savvy, educated consumers who are knowledgeable about their conditions, preferences, and expectations based on information from the Internet. Simultaneously, insurance companies, Medicaid, and other agencies are cracking down on fraud. According to Creamer & Associates, financial risk categories include malpractice, employee labor or discrimination issues, embezzlement, disability, negative cash flow, and audits of all types. Clinical risks and liabilities fall into two categories: inherent risks and risks caused by substandard care. Inherent risks are those for which the dentist is not liable due to the fact they are beyond the dentist’s control. Risk caused by substandard care is commonly referred to as dental malpractice risk. Theoretically, dentists are liable for injuries caused by a breach of the standard of care. Dr. Yee believes that the greatest liability danger to a dentist may not be from patients, but from what another dentist may say about the quality of the previous dentist’s
