Kanpur Dentists : Dental Implants placement for 4 missing teeth in a single sitting

Dr Saxena's Dental Super Specialty Centre is a well reputed clinic in India, famous for Dental Implants placement.

Recently, a lady in her mid thirties came to our centre seeking replacement of missing teeth as well as a very poor localized periodontal condition in the lower anterior region.

She gave a history of trauma 5 years back in the lower anterior region and one of her lower incisors had got avulsed at that time. She showed her case to a local dentist who just splinted the tooth with some cold cure acrylic. As this procedure reflected very poor judgement on the part of that dentist, the patient had a very hard time cleaning this area of her mouth. It eventually led to severe bone loss in that region and the surrounding teeth also got loosened up. We found heavy calculus deposits in the lower anterior region.



We started with cleaning of the teeth and the splinted tooth had to be sacrificed as it had lost all attachment from the oral tissues. The patient was given a removable partial denture and kept on a regular follow up and excellent oral hygiene was observed on part of the patient.



As the patient also had missing teeth in the lower posterior right and left regions, she had trouble chweing her food and requested fixed prosthesis. We prepared the patient for implantation of 4 missing teeth in the lower arch. OPG (Orthopentomogram) and IOPA X-rays were taken and measurements of the edentulous ridge was done.



The regions to be implanted included:

Lower right first molar region



Lower left central incisor region (shown above) and Lower left second premolar and first molar region. As the latter two regions contained attrited root peices of the original teeth, they were extracted few days before the surgery. Bone grafting was planned for this region.



Implants placed in this patient were Uniti dental endosseous fixtures, fabricated from medical grade titanium with unique Kompress thread and Microgrip blasted surface.

A D4.3 x L10 was placed for rt lower first molar



A D3.7 x L13 was placed for left lower central incisor



Two D5.3 x L10 implants were placed for left side premolar and molar regions. As the bone density was not very dense, and extraction sockets had not completely healed, thicker implants with Hydoxyapatite graft were used.





We shall now wait 3 months before loading these implants. Follow up photos of this case shall be regularly posted in this section of our blog.
