On Immediate Implant Placement:
Immediate implant placement refers to the placement of a dental implant into the extraction socket immediately after a tooth is removed. This technique is often used to minimize the time between tooth extraction and implant placement, reducing the overall treatment time.
Provisionalization involves the creation and placement of a temporary crown or bridge on the dental implant immediately after its placement. This provisional restoration serves both functional and esthetic purposes while the implant integrates with the surrounding bone.
The “Dual Zone Technique” refer to a comprehensive approach that considers both the hard and soft tissue aspects of the esthetic zone. This can involve careful planning and execution to achieve optimal esthetic outcomes, taking into account factors such as bone quality, quantity, and the surrounding soft tissue.
On Complications in Implant Surgery:
Implant surgery, whether for dental or joint implants, can have complications such as infection, implant failure, poor wound healing, nerve or blood vessel damage, bone resorption, peri-implantitis, allergic reactions, prosthetic issues, sinus complications, and psychological factors. Prevention involves careful planning, patient assessment, and postoperative care, with regular follow-up appointments to address potential complications and ensure long-term success.
