What contrasts in risk can be observed between the daily and few months implant placement protocols?
Could you provide insight into the contrasting risks between a daily implant placement protocol and one that spans over a few months? To my knowledge, if conditions like periodontitis and diabetes are absent, the risk of failure for an implant placement spanning a few months is approximately 10%. Should I anticipate a postponement if a gum transplant becomes necessary?
The advantage of immediate same day implant placement is that it can reduce the overall treatment time and the number of surgical procedures required. It may also help preserve bone and soft tissue architecture. But on the other hand, there is a higher risk of implant failure due to factors such as inadequate osseointegration, infection, and biomechanical issues. Immediate implants are more susceptible to loading forces during the early healing phase.
The advantage of delayed implant placmenet (over a few months) is that it allows for proper healing of the extraction site, bone regeneration if needed, and resolution of any underlying infection or inflammation. The risk of implant failure is also lower compared to immediate placement. However, there is still a risk of complications such as infection, improper osseointegration or peri-implantitis.
In the scenario where a gum transplant becomes necessary before implant placement, it is important to address any underlying gum issues to ensure the long-term success of the implants. While a gum transplant may cause a temporary postponement of the implant placement, it is crucial to prioritize the health and stability of the surrounding tissues to support the implants effectively.
