Comportamiento clínico-radiológico y estético de rehabilitaciones unitarias postextracción con el sistema Aurea

Abstract

From a medical perspective, the therapeutic option of substituting a tooth with an implant-supported prosthesis is presented as the most adequate treatment option, since it prevents from including adjacent teeth in the treatment, and the aesthetic results are similar to the ones obtained with conventional fixed partial dentures. For some time now, immediate implant placement has been incorporated as a valid and predictable treatment, being associated with a series of benefits, both for the patient and the clinician, such as the reduced treatment time (since wound healing and alveolar bone formation is not needed), a less psiquic tension for the patient by suppressing one surgical intervention, the improvement on aesthetic results by preserving the gingival architecture and, even more important, preserving also the osseous structure by minimizing the physiologic resorption produced with tooth extraction.This treatment protocol has been an alternative treatment option since the publication by Schulte and co-workers on 1978, when the first clinical results were described with an 8-year follow-up. The following histological and clinical studies have shown good implant integration when placed immediately after extraction, seeing a high percentage of bone-to-implant contact...
