1. What is Immediate Implantation?

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
Quick Solution for Preserving Aesthetics and Jawbone

   

Immediate implantation refers to the process where an implant is placed immediately into the fresh alveolus (tooth socket) following the extraction of a tooth. This not only saves time but also prevents the bone loss that typically occurs after a tooth extraction. A temporary provisional restoration is then provided to maintain the aesthetic appearance while allowing for healing.

This method is often used for patients who wish to immediately replace a lost tooth, particularly in the anterior region, where aesthetics play a crucial role. The ability to place a dental implant immediately after tooth extraction represents a significant improvement in quality of life for many.

2. Procedure for Treatment with Immediate Implants

The procedure for immediate implantation is clearly structured and typically consists of the following steps:

1.

Tooth Extraction

First, the damaged or lost tooth is removed.

2.

Placement of the Implant

Next, the SDS ceramic implant is inserted into the prepared tooth socket. Due to the advanced material properties of the SDS implants, a provisional dental restoration can often be directly attached to the implant, enabling immediate aesthetic restoration.

3.

Osseointegration

After the implant is placed, the osseointegration phase begins, which can vary from a few weeks to several months, depending on the individual healing process. It is important to follow the dentist's recommendations regarding care and aftercare. The immediate implantation with SDS ceramic implants ensures optimal osseointegration due to the biomaterial and prevents inflammation that can lead to peri-implantitis.

3. When is Immediate Implantation Advisable?

Immediate implantation is particularly suitable in situations where the tooth is severely damaged, inflamed, or has already been lost, but where there is sufficient healthy bone present. Patients benefit greatly from this method, especially in aesthetically significant areas, such as when providing a provisional restoration for a front tooth.

4. When Can the Immediate Implant be Loaded?

Immediate Loadability Due to High Primary Stability

  

The loading of the immediate implant depends on the primary stability of the implant, which must be present directly after placement. This stability is crucial to ensure that the implant integrates with the jawbone. The ability for immediate loading is a standout feature of SDS ceramic implants, which provide high primary stability through their unique Dynamic Thread® design.

As a result, SDS ceramic implants can generally be loaded immediately, meaning that a provisional crown can be placed in a single session, which is particularly advantageous in the anterior region.

5. Are Immediate Implants Painful?

Immediate implantation is generally a low-pain procedure, as it is performed under local anaesthesia. The minimally invasive approach, where the implant is placed directly into the bone socket of the extracted tooth, reduces the need for extensive incisions in the gum tissue. Patients often report mild discomfort comparable to that experienced during conventional tooth extractions.

6. Advantages of Immediate Implantation

Benefits for Patients

Benefits for Patients

  • Faster Treatment: An immediate implant saves multiple appointments and the need for extensive provisional measures.

  • Preservation of Bone and Soft Tissue: Immediate implantation after extraction keeps the jawbone stable and preserves the aesthetic contour of the gums.

  • Aesthetic Immediate Restoration: With a provisional restoration for a front tooth, aesthetics are restored immediately, which is particularly important in visible areas.

  • Minimally Invasive: Combining extraction and implantation in one session reduces the number of surgical procedures and thus the strain on the patient.

Benefits for Dentists

Benefits for Dentists

  • Time-saving: Simultaneously extracting the tooth and placing the implant in just one session can reduce the overall treatment time by an average of 3-4 months, saving valuable time for both the patient and the dentist.

  • Efficiency: Thanks to the SDS ceramic implants, the prosthetic phase can be completed quickly and accurately without the need for additional prosthetic components.

  • High patient satisfaction: Rapid and aesthetic results enhance patient satisfaction, which in turn has positive effects on patient retention.

7. Disadvantages of Immediate Implantation

Despite the many advantages, there are also some disadvantages that need to be considered with immediate implantation:

• Primary stability: In some cases, primary stability may not be sufficient to load an implant immediately. 

• Risk of infections: If the extraction site is not thoroughly cleaned, the risk of infections may increase. 

• Increased complexity: In challenging anatomical conditions, such as with an immediate implant for a molar, the placement of the implant may be more complicated.

8. SDS Ceramic Implants: The Ideal Solution for Immediate Implantation

Our SDS ceramic implants offer numerous advantages over conventional implants, particularly when combined with immediate implantation. The benefits of SDS ceramic implants in immediate implantation are:

Dynamic Thread®

The unique Dynamic Thread® ensures high primary stability, even in challenging bone conditions. This is particularly important for immediate loading and increases the success rate.

Individualised Coronal Preparation

Thanks to the flexibility of our SDS implants, the emergence profile can be individually customised, allowing for better aesthetics and a perfect fit with the gingival contours.

High stability in all bone classes

Regardless of soft or hard bone, the design of SDS implants ensures stability and safety during implantation.

No Gingiva Former Required

The ability to design the emergence profile directly reduces the need for additional components such as gingival formers, saving both time and costs.

  • Primary stability: Limited, especially in soft bone

  • Adjustability: Difficult

  • Prosthetic flexibility: Less flexible, requires more components

  • Patient comfort: Longer healing time
Ceramic Implant

Ceramic Implant

  • Gingival former: Not required, saves time

  • Treatment duration: 3-4 months (shorter, quicker immediate loading)

  • Primary stability: High stability, even in soft bone

  • Adjustability: Easy, custom adaptation

  • Prosthetic flexibility: Tailored emergence profiles

  • Patient comfort: Rapid recovery, high comfort
