Do multiple adjacent extractions affect implant bone levels?

Posted on by

Methods:

Beagle dogs were assigned to three groups with 16 sites each:

Group 1: Single tooth extraction and one immediate implant

Group 2: Two adjacent teeth extractions and one immediate implant

Group 3: Three adjacent teeth extractions and one immediate implant 

Jaw segments were analyzed for bone thickness, marginal bone loss and bone to implant contact.

Results:

Group 3 (Three adjacent teeth extractions with one immediate implant in the middle socket) had the most severe buccal marginal bone loss (3.20mm compared to 0.375mm for Group 1 (single extraction and immediate implant). 

Conclusions:

Multiple adjacent teeth extraction causes more extensive buccal bone remodelling and greater amount of buccal marginal bone loss around immediately placed implants.  This may be due to the severing of the interdental bone blood supply.

  1. Always a pleasure visiting this website and updating my knowledge!

  2. Very interesting study and useful for multiple immediate implant placement cases
