Q |
What does it mean with
Immediate Function? |
|
A |
The term "Function" was
selected as it reflects
the patient's
perspective at implant
treatment: Teeth in
"function" immediately
after implant placement.
|
|
|
|
|
Q |
What are the
indications? |
|
A |
Candidates for any
implant treatment where
high implant stability
can be achieved and the
implant loading can be
controlled in the same
manner as for a
conventional two-stage
treatment. |
|
|
|
|
Q |
What factors in
treatment planning are
important? |
|
A |
There should be
sufficient bone at the
implant site to allow
for a good initial
stability. The occusal
conditions should be
possible to control,
i.e. avoiding extreme
bruxers, unstable
adjacent teeth, long
cantilevers etc. |
|
|
|
|
Q |
How does the soft bone
react on immediate
loading? |
|
A |
If
the special implant is
used and if the initial
stability criterion is
reached the implant is
likely to have a good
prognosis also in soft
bone. |
|
|
|
|
Q |
Does the surgical
steps/site preparation
differ compared to
conventional implant
placement? |
|
A |
Firm initial stability
is of utmost importance.
This can be achieved by
using tapered implants
and/or under-preparation
techniques for the
parallel wall implants.
|
|
|
|
|
Q |
Isn't there a high risk
with immediate function
in fresh extraction
sites if the extracted
tooth was removed
because of infection? |
|
A |
If
the socket is curetted
and perfectly cleaned
from soft tissue
remnants and an adequate
stability is reached,
the prognosis is likely
to be good. However,
more clinical
documentation is called
for at this situation.
