The Use Of A Synthetic Putty Graft In Extraction Sockets Combined With Immediate Implant Installation: 3 Cases

Abstract

In these three different cases, synthetic putty graft material has proven to be a reliable alternative to autologous bone for implant placement, directly into the anterior extraction socket of the maxilla. This study presents three different patients who require implants in the anterior maxilla. Immediate implant placement was the treatment solution of choice. Because the aesthetic expectations and the initial screw-in torque are different however, a differentiation between direct loading, a phase 1 or a phase 2 approaches was made. Clinical results show that synthetic putty is an effective alternative to transplantations with xenograft or allogeneic graft materials in single-phase, two-phase, and direct loading.
