Dental Implants New Jersey News: The Excellent Success Rate of Immediate Function Implants

Online, January 1, 2013 (Newswire.com) - What used to require a two-phase approach to restoring dental function often now only requires a single procedure, allowing patients to return home on the day of their dental implant surgery and immediately benefit from their new tooth or teeth. This applies to cases involving both single tooth replacement and full arch restoration - the replacement of a complete upper and/or lower set of teeth. Although oral surgeons emphasize the importance of a soft food diet in the days and weeks following implant surgery, the development of "immediate function" implants drastically reduces the time and expense involved in completely restoring patients' smiles.

About Immediate Function Dental Implants

This innovation in dental implantology is the result of many research publications and clinical trials and, as announced at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, offers the following benefits:

• Fewer surgeries to provide patients with new teeth,
• Less trauma and post-operative discomfort,
• A shorter treatment time,
• The ability to chew normally immediately after surgery,
• A replacement tooth that can last decades.

Immediate function or immediate load implants have been around for many decades, but it's only in recent years that they have gained immense peer-reviewed support from the greater dentistry community. Dr. Steven M. Moss, an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon at the New Jersey MALO Advanced Oral Rehabilitation, reports that he has been placing immediate load implants for decades and that many of them are still in great condition today.

One of the greatest benefits of immediate load implants is that patients can return home on the day of their procedure with stable, functioning teeth instead of having to return for an additional procedure at a later date to have a crown or bridge placed. As a patient with missing teeth, the allure of getting new teeth in as little as one day is indisputable. Humans, as a species, are naturally attracted to services or products that offer instant gratification and this need is catered to beautifully by "immediate function" dental implants.

Supporting Innovations in Dental Implantology

The placement of immediate function implants, which are manufactured with rough surfaces and aggressive tapered threads, is supported by other innovations in the field of medical science. These technologies include CT scan imaging, cone beam radiography and sophisticated treatment planning software, which enable oral surgeons and restorative dentists to plan implant procedures in great detail and with great accuracy. This substantially reduces the risk of complication, rendering implant surgery far more predictable and ultimately, successful.

Immediate function implants do not only have applications in planned procedures, but also for patients who have been involved in accidents and require emergency teeth replacement. In many cases where one or more teeth have been left irreparably damaged, the natural tooth or roots remnants can be extracted by the oral surgeon and replaced with a dental implant the very same day.

Case Study of Immediate Function Implants

The Journal of Oral Implantology recently published a scientific study on the treatment outcomes of immediate load implants. The results indicated, after four years, a success rate of 97.9% in 30 patients who had had one or more teeth replaced using immediate load implants. Not only were there no serious adverse incidents noted, but the bone tissue beneath the implants had ceased to atrophy - a natural result of tooth loss. Restoring stability to bone levels in the jaw is one of the most important benefits of dental implants and perhaps their greatest distinction from the traditional fixed replacement technology: a dental bridge.
