Abstract
GRAU-LEON, IB; GUERRA-COBIAN, O; SANCHEZ-SILOT, C and GARCIA-ROMERO, JL. Treatment with implants inserted in regenerated alveolar sites with beta-tricalcium phosphate. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.4, pp.167-175. Epub Dec 18, 2023. ISSN 2340-3152.
Introduction:
The aim of this study was to report the outcome of treatment with dental implants inserted in regenerated sites with beta-tricalcium phosphate.
Methods:
48 patients with partial tooth loss were treated with 97 Galimplant ® implants in regenerated sites with beta-tricalcium phosphate Osteoblast ®. Patients were treated with several surgical tecniques (immediate implants in fresh sockets, alveolar ridge expansion, transalveolar /lateral sinus elevation). Implants were loaded after a healing free-loading period of 6 months.
Results:
48 patients were treated, with a mean age of 37.4 years (range: 22-63 yr), with 97 implants. Sixteen patients (33.3%) were treated with immediate implants in fresh sockets; in 9 patients (18.7%), alveolar ridge expansion were used; and 10 patients (20.8%) were treated with transalveolar or lateral sinus elevation (13 patients; 27.1%). 2 implants (2,06%) were lost during the healing period and two implant (2,06%) was lost by peri-implantitis. Marginal bone loss was 1.34 ±1.19 mm. A total of 78 prostheses were realized, 61 single crowns (78.2%) and 17 fixed bridges (21.8%). The follow-up period was of 5 years.
Conclusions:
This study indicate that dental implants can be inserted with success in regenerated sites with beta-tricalcium phosphate.
Conclusions:
This study indicates that treatment with dental implants placed by transalveolar sinus elevation in geriatric patients constitute an implant treatment with a high success rate.
