Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the preliminary clinical outcome of socket shield technique in maxillary anterior region. Methods: Nine patients were treated with socket shield technique in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from February 2012 to December 2015 were enrolled in this study. Ten implants were placed and restored immediately. After 12-48 months' follow-up (averaged 32 months), the peri-implant hard and soft tissue were clinically evaluated. Results: No implants were lost during the observation period, resulting a cumulate 32-month survival. The pink esthetic score (PES) was 13.5. Mesial and distal bone loss were 0.17 mm and 0.22 mm respectively. Conclusions: To achieve good esthetic results, socket shield technique may be an option for maxillary anterior region immediate implant placement.

目的: 评估上颌前牙区应用牙片屏障即刻种植、即刻修复12~48个月后的临床效果。 方法: 纳入2012年2月至2015年12月于北京大学口腔医学院·口腔医院第四门诊部接受种植治疗的9例患者,共10个牙位,采用牙片屏障技术行即刻种植和即刻修复。术后12~48个月临床评估种植体周围软、硬组织变化,随访12~48个月。 结果: 10枚种植体全部留存,粉色美学指数13.5,近中邻面牙槽骨高度降低0.17 mm,远中邻面牙槽骨高度降低0.22 mm。 结论: 当上颌前牙区种植美学需求较高时,应用牙片屏障即刻种植技术,中短期临床效果可靠。.
