Indication Specific Implants: Immediate Molar Replacement with Ultra Wide Diameter Implants
This lecture will highlight treatment alternatives for the molar socket including immediate implant placement.
Multi-rooted extraction sockets are often too large to accommodate a traditional size implant therefore ultra wide diameter implants as a clinical alternative can predictably simplify procedures without compromising function and esthetics. The use of these immediate molar replacement implants can reduce the need for ancillary procedures, such as sinus lifts or additional extensive grafting.
These ultra wide implants frequently reduce the risk of injury to surrounding structures, such as the sinus membrane or the inferior alveolar nerve. Ultra wide platform implants allow for improved molar emergence profiles to reduce the size of gingival embrasure spaces and therefore reduce the potential for food impaction. At the completion of the lecture, attendees will have gained knowledge about how ultra wide diameter implants can simplify procedures and shorten the treatment duration, without compromising implant success rates, function and esthetics.
