An immediate tooth root replacement: an implant cylinder and synthetic bone combination. 1990

Department of Biomaterials, New York University College of Dentistry.

Tooth extractions in 22 cases were treated immediately with the simultaneous placement of a cylinder implant and injection of particulate synthetic bone around the neck of the implant and into the extraction socket surrounding the cylinder. Preliminary results indicate a success rate of 94.1% in those implant/synthetic bone combinations placed in function. The utilization of synthetic bone in combination with an implant creates the possibility of an immediate tooth root replacement. Besides replacing a "lost part" of the jaw immediately, this practice prevents the normal 40% to 60% bone loss that occurs in the two years post-extraction and improves both function and aesthetics for the patient. The synthetic bone, HTR Polymer, was used in combination with Steri-Oss cylinders.

D003831	Denture, Partial, Immediate	A partial denture constructed before the teeth it replaces are removed. It is then inserted immediately after the removal of the natural teeth for functional and cosmetic reasons during the healing process. It is to be replaced later by the fitted partial denture.

D014081	Tooth Extraction	The surgical removal of a tooth. (Dorland, 28th ed)	Extraction, Tooth,Extractions, Tooth,Tooth Extractions
D014092	Tooth Root	The part of a tooth from the neck to the apex, embedded in the alveolar process and covered with cementum. A root may be single or divided into several branches, usually identified by their relative position, e.g., lingual root or buccal root. Single-rooted teeth include mandibular first and second premolars and the maxillary second premolar teeth. The maxillary first premolar has two roots in most cases. Maxillary molars have three roots.

D015921	Dental Implants	Biocompatible materials placed into (endosseous) or onto (subperiosteal) the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or artificial tooth, or to stabilize a diseased tooth.
