Description:

We have all been in the situation where we must extract a tooth with a problem, and replace it with an implant.
What is the most predictable protocol for dealing with these cases? We actually know now that it is a mistake to try to fill the extraction socket completely with the implant body.

So we have moved away from the implant size that would completely fill the extraction socket. And, now, instead, we leave space for the buccal bone. And, we must respect that space. Another important aspect is that the provisional is essential for shaping soft-tissue emergence. We have to do eveything we can to transfer this emergence to the final restorations. And, we have to know how to avoid collapse of the soft tissue envelope we have developed with this provisional. One of the treatment goals, beyond preservation of crestal bone, is also the shaping of the palatal area of the tooth. That should be done as accurately as the buccal portion.

Cement rentention is a real danger, and we should be aware of that. By copying the shape of the provisional that has been extensively tested in the mouth of the patient onto the final restoration we have full control of the soft tissue contour around the implant supported resotration that mimicks the root and the shape of the natural tooth.

So we really create the illusion of a natural tooth. Join Dr. Euwe as he discusse the advances in the field of post-extraction implant supported restorations.
