The Single‐Tooth Implant: A Viable Alternative for Single‐Tooth Replacement

Abstract

This success rate for single-tooth replacement dual acid-etched implants compares favorably with bridged implants and with success rates of other single-tooth implant studies. Dual acid-etched implants performed well even under conditions of poor quality bone, where concomitant bone augmentation was performed, and when used for immediate replacement of extracted teeth.

Factors Associated with Implant Recommendation for Single-Tooth Replacement

“…2 The advent and widespread use of dental implants has expanded the available options for single-tooth replacement to include endosseous dental implants. 3 In fact, implants have been proposed to be the most suitable option for single-tooth replacement in most situations, both in posterior 4 and anterior regions of the mouth. [5][6][7] The single-tooth implant has become a predictable treatment option, with survival rates reported to range between 94.4 and 99%, with a mean survival rate of 96.7%.…”

Multidisciplinary Treatment of an Adult Patient with a High Esthetic Demand

“…The greatest advantage of implant-supported prostheses is that no procedure is performed on healthy adjacent teeth (7)(8)(9). Priest showed in a 10-year clinical trial that there would be fewer cases of caries, less risk of orthodontic movements, less sensitivity, and less plaque retention in adjacent teeth with implant therapy (10).…”

Coronas implantosoportadas: ¿individualizar o ferulizar?

“…Tras la revisión y selección de los estudios más apropiados, se encontraron tasas que oscilaron entre el 92,3% y el 100%: 93,8% (5 años) 20 ; 98,3% (6 años, 259 implantes) 21 ; 97,4% (10 años, 116 implantes) 22 ; 98,6 % (5 años, 71 implantes) 23 ; 96,18% (7 años, 184 implantes) 24 ; 92,3% (78 implantes, 5 años) 25 ; 100% (24 implantes, 4 años) 26 ], destacando una revisión sistemáti-ca 27 , basado en 8 estudios a más de 5 años, donde la pérdida fue del 2-2,5%; o un metaanálisis que obtiene una tasa de supervivencia a las 7 años del 96,5% 28 . Estos elevados índices de éxito nos hacen pensar que, en las condiciones idóneas, un implante restaurado individualmente no es un tratamiento de riesgo.…”
