Abstract:

Objective

To study the effect of guided regenerative bone on the esthetic outcomes of peri-implant gingival tissue in the site of single tooth-loss with various extent of alveolar defect.

Methods

53 patients with single missing tooth and presenting various extent of alveolar defect were treated with standard implant surgery protocol. The guided bone regeneration procedures were performed with coralline hydroxyapatite simultaneously. The situation of bone healing and guided bone regeneration were observed. Marginal bone level around the implant shoulder, the morphology, marginal level, quality, papilla architecture, as well as the marginal bleeding of the gingiva tissue surrounding the implant prostheses were evaluated immediately after implant restoration and at 3- and 6-month follow-up respectively.

Results

The guided regenerative bone grew well and covered the defects completely. At 6-month follow-up, implant marginal bone resorption of over 1 screw was found in 4 patients, not relevant with the defect type. The gingival esthetic outcomes was improved significantly with the increase of functional loading-time; but the incidence of unmatched gingival shape and papilla architecture in the patients with larger alveolar defect is higher than the patients with smaller defect.

Conclutions

Coralline hydroxiapatite is well able to guide new bone to regenerate. Sufficient guided regenerative bone is a decisive factor for maintaining the natural gingival shape and structure around the implant.
