Implant-Prosthetic Rehabilitation of the Agenesis of Maxillary Lateral Incisors: A 2-Year Prospective Clinical Study with Full Digital Workflow
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
- -
- minimum age: 18 years (proven completion of facial growth);
- -
- single edentulous space (mono- or bilateral agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors);
- -
- presence of at least 10 pairs of opposing teeth;
- -
- intact adjacent teeth, restored with functionally and esthetically congruous reconstructions or restored with prostheses precluding the possibility of adding missing teeth;
- -
- refusal of alternative treatments (i.e., canine replacement, removable prosthesis, adhesive prosthesis, conventional or cantilevered fixed dental prostheses).
- -
- symptomatic temporo-mandibular dysfunctions;
- -
- inability to undergo surgical procedures;
- -
- pregnancy or breastfeeding;
- -
- abuse of medication and/or drugs;
- -
- psychosis and/or dysmorphophobia;
- -
- unachievable esthetic expectations;
- -
- poor bone quantity and/or quality (i.e., D3 or D4) or unsatisfactory conditions of the implant site (as highlighted by clinical and X-ray examinations);
- -
- bone volume in the implant site not sufficient to position a 3.3 mm × 10 mm narrow-diameter implant;
- -
- mouth opening and/or space between the dental arches insufficient for implant components (>4 cm);
- -
- incomplete facial growth and/or tooth eruption.
- -
- 0–3 months: patient recruitment;
- -
- 4–10 months: periodontal and orthodontic preparation (if necessary) and implant surgery;
- -
- 11–12 months: prosthetic finalization and baseline control (T0);
- -
- 24 months: 1-year follow-up;
- -
- 36 months: 2-year follow-up.
- -
- interproximal conditions (contact areas and papillae);
- -
- occlusion (static and dynamic);
- -
- appearance of the crown (margin and color);
- -
- peri-implant soft tissues (quantity and quality);
- -
- marginal bone tissue (radiographic evaluation).
3. Results
- -
- score from 0 to 5: 0 restorations
- -
- score 6: 1 restoration
- -
- score 7: 3 restorations
- -
- score 8: 8 restorations
- -
- score 9: 9 restorations
- -
- score 10: 9 restorations
4. Discussion
5. Conclusions
- -
- in the 2-year short-term, both implants and zirconia crowns did not show significant technical or biological complications, achieving high survival and success rates;
- -
- in standard clinical conditions, the implant-prosthetic rehabilitation can be considered a viable choice option for the treatment of the agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors.
- -
- as regards the subjective evaluation of patients, both the function and esthetics of the restorations were considered fully satisfactory.
- -
- an interdisciplinary approach to the treatment plan represents an essential pre-requisite for achieving functional and esthetic success.
