Abstract

Background and Aim: Immediate implant placement is a
predictable therapeutic option to replace the missing teeth. However,
it is technique-sensitive, and requires strict case selection criteria.
Tooth extraction triggers the biologic phenomenon of bone
resorption, which is not prevented with immediate implant
placement. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of
deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) use on vertical bone loss
around immediately placed mandibular molar implants.
Materials and Methods: In this non-randomized clinical study, 14
patients with immediate molar implants in the lower jaw, restored
with screw-retained single crowns were evaluated. The case group
(with bone material use) received DBBM in conjunction with implant
placement, while no grafting was performed in the control group.
The vertical bone level changes were radiographically measured at
the mesial and distal implant sides as the distance between the
implant shoulder and first implant-bone contact in apical direction.
Measurements were made at two time points of six months
postoperatively and one year post-functional loading. The acquired
data were statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA.
Results: The mean values for vertical bone loss at the mesial and
distal reference points were greater in the control group (without
bone replacement material use) than in the case group both six
months postoperatively and one-year post-functional loading. The
difference was statistically significant at both time points (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, it can be concluded
that the use of DBBM in immediate implants can reduce vertical bone
loss.
