Os implantes imediatos que recebem restaurações imediatas vêm sendo apresentados na literatura como uma opção de tratamento confiável para a reposição de dentes condenados. No entanto, recentemente, dúvidas com relação à estabilidade dos tecidos periimplantares utilizando esta técnica têm sido levantadas. Neste estudo prospectivo, doze pacientes tiveram seus incisivos centrais superiores condenados substituídos por implantes imediatos e restaurações imediatas. Durante 18 meses, foram acompanhados o comprimento das coroas implanto-suportadas e a distância entre a ponta das papilas e a borda incisal dos dentes vizinhos. Não foi observada diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as medidas obtidas. Os resultados obtidos podem ser atribuídos ao rigoroso critério de seleção dos casos e a técnica cirúrgica aplicada. Pode-se afirmar que os tecidos moles periimplantares de implantes imediatos com restaurações imediatas, mantiveram-se estáveis ao longo dos 18 meses de observação seguindo-se os critérios de seleção e execução desse estudo. / The immediate implants that receive immediate restorations have been presented in literature as a reliable alternative to the replacement of condemned teeth. Recently, however, doubts regarding the perimplantar tissue stability have been raised. In this prospective study, twelve patients had their central maxillary incisor replaced by immediate implant and immediate restoration. After 18 months the papillae height and the Zenith of implant supported crown were compared to the dimensions before dental extraction. No statistically significant difference was observed between the obtained measurements. The authors justify the obtained results to the rigorous selection criteria of the cases that had been part of this sample and the surgical technique applied. In the selections criteria and executions followed in this work to the immediate implant placement and immediate restorations, we can state that the soft perimplantar tissues have been remained stable for the 18 months? observation.

The aim of this study was to establish a classification system for use in immediate implant placement by examining fresh extraction sockets in maxillary premolars and evaluation of the varying morphologies using CBCT imaging. Selection criteria included dentulous patients ages 15-85 that had CBCT imaging taken for varying treatment. A total of 400 maxillary premolars were classified by their root morphology as Type I (two-rooted premolar with interradicular bone), II (fused roots with mesiodistal alveolar constriction) or III (single blunted root with no interradicular bone). The internal root angle was measured for all Type 1 maxillary first premolars (n=40), as well as the interradicular septal bone height. A Type 1 premolar socket is present in 32% of the sampled maxillary first and second premolars. Type 2 socket was present in 22% of premolars, and type 3 socket was present in 46% of premolars. The average internal angle formed between the long axis of the crown versus the long axis of the palatal root was 11.46 ± 4.35° (range 4° to 20.7°). The average interradicular septal bone height was of 6.9 ± 1.6 mm (range 3.28 to 9.61). Type I root form had the highest incidence at maxillary first premolars sites and has the most alveolar bone available, thus having a higher probability for primary stability. The type III root form is most common in the maxillary second premolar site and has the least amount of alveolar support for immediate implant placement. The angulation and alveolar bone support provided by the palatal root in Type I root form maxillary first premolar sites may provide stability for an immediate implant at an appropriate prosthetic position.
