Techniques for augmenting alveolar bone
- All techniques for augmenting alveolar bone are invasive and have associated morbidity.
- Orthodontic tooth movement can generate new bone.
- Fibres of the periodontal ligament (PDL) surrounding the teeth stimulate osteoblasts to deposit new alveolar bone.
- Orthodontic forced eruption of hopeless teeth can augment bone vertically and reduce the need for bone grafts.
- Moving healthy adjacent teeth into a bone-deficient edentulous site can create an implant site with sufficient bone.
Impact of orthodontic extrusion on implant site
- Orthodontic extrusion can enhance soft and hard tissue profiles before implant placement.
- It provides a systematic approach to managing extraction site defects.
- Orthodontic extrusion can be used to develop implant sites in hypodontia patients.
- The technique helps in vertical alveolar ridge augmentation in implant dentistry.
- Orthodontic extrusion can eliminate or reduce the amount of bone graft required prior to implant placement.
Orthodontic implant site-switching technique
- The orthodontic implant site-switching technique is a novel approach.
- It involves moving healthy adjacent teeth into the planned implant site.
- This technique allows for the creation of an implant site with sufficient bone.
- Orthodontic implant site-switching can be used in bone-deficient edentulous sites.
- It helps in closing edentulous spaces and creating implant sites simultaneously.
Studies and research on orthodontic implant site-switching technique
- Herford and Dean (2011) discuss complications in bone grafting.
- Isola et al. (2022) conduct a systematic review on implant site changes using different clinical approaches.
- Salama and Salama (1993) present a systematic approach to managing extraction site defects.
- Borzabadi-Farahani (2012) explores orthodontic considerations in restorative management of hypodontia patients with implants.
- Borzabadi-Farahani and Zadeh (2016) discuss orthodontic implant site development in implant dentistry.
Preliminary studies on orthodontic implant site-switching technique
- Lu et al. (2023) conduct a preliminary study on the orthodontic implant site-switching technique in dogs.
- The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the technique.
- The orthodontic implant site-switching technique shows promising results in creating implant sites with sufficient bone.
- Further research is needed to validate the findings of the preliminary study.
- The technique has the potential to revolutionize implant dentistry by reducing the need for bone grafts.
