PERI-IMPLANT PRESERVATION IN IMMEDIATE POSTERIOR IMPLANTSWITH PERSONALIZED HEALING: CLINICAL CASE REPORT

Abstract

The maintenance of natural dentition under optimal function, health and aesthetics conditions is the main objective of dental treatments, but when therapeutic possibilities are exhausted, dental extractions become necessary. Bone remodeling due to post-extraction alveo-lar healing may result in volume changes in the region. This topic is common in renowned dentistry scientific publications and several researchers recommend regenerative procedures and seek solutions minimize volume reduction. Among these procedures, the immediate installation of implants in post-extraction sockets without flap eleva-tion is an alternative that guarantees functional and aesthetic be-nefits in the final result of the rehabilitation. This paper presents a clinical case that shows a practical and viable alternative therapy for adequate alveolar healing. In this clinical case, the use of imme-diate implants and personalized healing abutments with flowable resin composite reduced alveolar healing remodeling and allowed the preservation of the gingival architecture and to obtain an ideal emer-gency profile for performing the permanent prosthesis supported by implant.
