Hypothesis
What is the effect of orthodontic extrusion on site development for implant placement in the esthetic zone?
Conclusion
Orthodontic forced eruption of hopeless teeth can enhance soft and hard tissue conditions for future implant placement.
Supporting Evidence
- Using orthodontic forced eruption can rapidly prepare the implant site by enhancing hard and soft tissues.
- Eight studies included bone grafting procedures before implant placement.
- The orthodontic extrusion period varied from 3 to 12 months across studies.
- Positive outcomes of orthodontic forced eruption were reported in clinical, radiographic, and esthetic aspects.
Takeaway
This study shows that moving teeth with braces can help prepare the area for dental implants, making it easier to place them later.
Methodology
A systematic review of clinical studies was conducted, evaluating the effect of orthodontic forced eruption on implant site preparation.
Potential Biases
All included studies are case reports or case series, which may affect the quality of evidence.
Limitations
The review is limited by the small number of available studies and the lack of long-term follow-up.
Participant Demographics
Participants included 16 individuals aged 22 to 57 years, with 11 women and 5 men.
