2 Expanded Dental Implant Treatment ABSTRACT Endosseous root-form dental implants were introduced approximately four decades ago. Since then, implant treatment has evolved into a predictable therapy with high implant survival and success rates as well as high success rates for implant-supported and implant-retained restorations and prostheses. However, clinicians face many challenges when treatment planning cases, including anatomical constraints, patient needs, expectations, and acceptance of implant treatment. Technological advances since the first standard diameter implants became available have included the development of wide-diameter, short and narrowdiameter implants as well as the availability of implants with sophisticated rough-surface coatings. These options help to address clinical challenges faced during treatment planning and therapy with implants, can reduce the invasiveness and length of treatment, and can increase case acceptance.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES The overall goal of this course is to provide the reader with information on considerations and challenges in implant treatment planning and on the role of technologies in increasing implant treatment options. On completion of this course, participants will be able to: 1. Review the development of dental implants 2. Describe the challenges clinicians face in treatment planning implant cases 3. List and describe technologies and options for overcoming treatment planning challenges 4. Describe the types of surface coatings used for implants and their impact on healing and osseointegration 5. Review the role of narrow-diameter implants, materials and treatment outcomes. Introduction Treatments with dental implants and the technologies behind them have developed considerably since the introduction of endosseous root-form standard diameter implants. These advancements include less invasive surgery and simpler treatment options for overdentures, single crowns and fixed prostheses. This has revolutionized the treatment options clinicians can provide to patients and the functionality that patients can obtain. In addition, while early dental implants had smooth surfaces, rough surfaces are now increasingly used on dental implants. These surface coatings have included calcium-like deposits, titanium plasma spray (TPS) surfaces, surfaces grit-blasted with aluminum oxide or titanium oxide, and, more recently, sandblasted and acid-etched surfaces. Treatment planning implant cases requires consideration of the patient s medical and dental history, habits, anatomy, SPONSOR/PROVIDER: This is a Dental Learning, LLC continuing education activity.

3 DENTAL LEARNING needs, expectations, and cost. If, based on these factors, implant treatment is indicated, planning should involve first considering the desired restorative outcome and then planning the surgical and restorative treatment from this standpoint. 1 Challenges faced by clinicians include anatomical constraints and patient acceptance. Treatment Planning Challenges Anatomical structures Key factors in the maxilla include the proximity of the maxillary sinus 2 as well as the position of the nasopalatine canal and nasal floor. In the mandible, anatomical structures of importance include the mental nerve, the inferior alveolar canal (Fig. 1), the lingual artery and the sublingual artery. 3 These structures create significant challenges in patients with edentulous atrophic ridges and partially dentate patients with missing posterior teeth. The proximity of the roots of adjacent teeth to the proposed osteotomy site also cannot be overlooked (Fig. 2) a poorly planned/executed implant can result in damage to an adjacent root/roots. Bone volume, height and width Sufficient bone must be present bucco-lingually, mesiodistally and apico-coronally for implant placement. If insufficient bone is present, ideal implant placement may be impossible without impinging on anatomical structures. In partially dentate patients, inadequate mesiodistal width can result in damage to adjacent roots, an inadequate width for placement of the fixed, implant-supported restoration, and/or poor esthetics. Narrow width can preclude standard diameter implant treatment. 4 If the implant is placed such that the biologic width cannot be achieved, and if the contact point distance from the crestal bone is too great, soft tissue esthetics and development of the papillae/gingival architecture that appears normal are not possible. 5,6 Papillae also cannot develop between 2 implants without adequate mesio-distal space between the 2 (or more) implants. 7 A narrow bucco-lingual width of bone and/or the presence of undercuts can lead to nonideal placement of an implant, particularly a standard diameter implant, with implications for esthetics and function. It can also lead to potentially disastrous perforation of the lingual (or buccal) bone plate. In addition, even if the plate is not perforated at the time of implant placement, if inadequate width of bone is present, the implant site can become fenestrated with loss of the thin plate existing at the time of implant placement. Adjunctive treatments that can resolve anatomical challenges include an invasive sinus lift or bone grafting to achieve sufficient bone height for posterior maxillary implant placement. 8 Bone grafting/guided tissue regeneration may be performed to achieve adequate bone height/ Figure 1.

4 Expanded Dental Implant Treatment width/volume for implant placement. Ridge splitting to widen a narrow alveolar ridge has also been advocated. 9,10 Patient satisfaction and treatment acceptance Patient satisfaction is generally high with implant-supported/implant-retained restorations. 11,12 In a multicountry prospective study, there was significantly greater patient satisfaction with implant-supported overdentures than with conventional removable dentures, including greater satisfaction with chewing ability, speech, comfort and denture stability. 13 Other studies variously reported improved chewing ability, taste, function, psychological well-being, comfort and quality of life in patients following treatment with implants of various diameters. 14,15,16,17,18 Subjective satisfaction (patient perception) and objective results following treatment with implant-supported overdentures is also correlated. 19 Subjective improvements in oral health were reported by patients receiving implants and single crowns; in a study by van Lierde, 100% patient satisfaction was reported with implant-supported single crowns. 20,21 Patient satisfaction with full-arch implantsupported fixed prostheses is also high in one study of 250 patients, 95% were either extremely satisfied or very satisfied with treatment outcomes and 98% stated they would recommend such treatment to others (Table 1). 22 Implant-supported single crowns are also cost-effective compared to a traditional three-unit bridge and do not require involvement of adjacent teeth; longer-term, implant-retained overdentures are also cost-effective although initially more costly than traditional removable full dentures. 23 Thus, patient acceptance of implant treatment results in high levels of patient satisfaction and good esthetic and functional outcomes. Nonetheless, patient nonacceptance of implant treatment is not uncommon. Reasons given include the idea that their jaw is being drilled ; a perception that there would be considerable pain and possibly infection; and dental anxiety or outright fear. 4,24,25 The relatively high cost of implant treatment also results in treatment declination. 26 Patient expectations include the desire for implant treatment that is relatively noninvasive, painless, low-cost (or at least, less costly), quick overall and with fewer treatment phases, as well as for immediate restorative care. (On the other hand, unrealistic patient expectations render treatment difficult and cause patient dissatisfaction.) Meeting these high expectations can aid case acceptance. Addressing Treatment Challenges Meeting expectations and overcoming treatment challenges with modern implant technology can result in greater case acceptance. Techniques that reduce the anxiety, cost, and invasiveness and length of treatment are available. In many cases, the use of short implants or narrow-diameter implants avoids the need for invasive adjunctive treatments such as bone grafts, simplifies treatment and makes the process less daunting for patients. The use of contemporary rough-surface coatings speeds up osseointegration and shortens length of treatment. The use of digital technology and guided surgery allows for flapless procedures and ideal implant placement. Digital technology has provided the ability to more accurately assess the volume, height and width of bone at proposed osteotomy sites as well as the location of key anatomical structures. This improves treatment planning and aids in the selection of an implant with an appropriate length and diameter. TABLE 1.

5 DENTAL LEARNING The use of narrow-diameter implants Narrow-diameter implants are useful where insufficient mesio-distal width is available for standard diameter implants (~4 mm) such as in the case of missing lateral incisors or where insufficient bucco-lingual bone width is available. 27 Inadequate bone width may also occur only at specific depths of the proposed osteotomy site (e.g., due to converging root apices of adjacent teeth or due to undercuts). Narrowdiameter implants may also be useful in situations where the existing bone and angulation would otherwise preclude use of a screw-retained restoration (Fig. 3). Narrow-diameter implants are available in diameters from 1.8 mm ( mini-implants ) to around 3.5 mm. Using a narrow-diameter implant in areas with a narrow mesiodistal space 28 can allow sufficient space for adequate soft tissue development (a space of 3 mm between implants has been found to be suitable). 29 Narrow- and standard diameter implants have similar survival and success rates. In a 5-year prospective trial involving more than 600 implants placed in 200 patients, the 5-year survival rate for TPS screw and cylinder implants was 99.4% and the success rate was 92.5%. 30 In a study of 3.0 mm and 3.5 mm diameter implants (n=510 in total), of which 50% were restored immediately but not loaded, the combined implant survival rate was 99.4%. 31 In a 10-year retrospective study, implants with a sandblasted, acid-etched (SLA) surface (n=511) were placed in 303 partially edentulous patients. Most of the implants placed were 4.1 mm standard diameter implants. The 10-year implant survival rate was 98.8% and the 10-year implant success rate was 97%. 32 Yaltirik et al found a cumulative 5-year implant survival rate of 93.75% (5 years in function) with 3.3 mm narrow-diameter implants (n=48) in 28 partially dentate patients. 33 Zinsli et al placed narrow-diameter (3.3 mm) implants (n=298) in 149 patients receiving restorations (overdentures/fixed partial dentures/single crowns), demonstrating a cumulative 5-year survival rate of 98.7%. 27 Lastly, a literature review of 41 studies on narrow small-diameter implants (n=10,093), with diameters ranging from 1.8 mm to 3.5 mm, and with a follow-up of 5 months to 9 years, found an implant survival rate that was consistently >90% ( 95% in 22 of the studies). Both flap and flapless protocols had been used 26 (Table 2). Rough implant surfaces and osseointegration An osteotomy site that closely matches the dimensions of the implant is important to achieve primary stability. Longterm implant stability is achieved through osseointegration, whereby bone grows onto and into the implant surface. Rough implant surfaces increase the amount of surface area available, thereby increasing bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and the area available for osseointegration. 34 It has also been Figure 3a.

6 Expanded Dental Implant Treatment hypothesized, based on in vitro cell studies, that a rough surface changes the host response at the cellular level and results in greater differentiation of osteoblasts as well as increased prostaglandin and TGF production. 35 Rough surfaces can result in improved results in potentially compromised cases. One study compared the outcomes for smooth-surface implants (n=2,182) placed in 593 patients from 1991 to 1996 and rough-surface implants (n=2,425) in 905 patients between 2001 and While both rough and smooth surfaces had a survival rate in excess of 94%, a length of less than 10 mm was a risk factor for failure of smooth-surface implants but not for rough-surface implants. 36 Several studies have demonstrated an increased rate of healing and greater BIC and osseointegration with roughsurface implants. Higher removal torque values (in Ncm) have also been observed. TPS surface-coated implants were conceived in the 1980s. Later developments led to the introduction of sandblasted and etched surfaces that were shown in research to further enhance the rate of healing, BIC and osseointegration. 37,38 In a retrospective analysis with an observation period of up to 5 years, implant-supported single crowns, fixed partial dentures, removable dentures and fixed dentures were provided. All implants placed had SLA surfaces and were restored using an early loading protocol of 6 weeks for the mandible and 12 weeks for the maxilla, with an implant success rate of 99.4%. 39 In a prospective 3-year multicenter study, immediate and early loading of SLActive surfacetreated implants (n=383) on 266 patients was conducted. At five months, during interim assessment, the implant survival rate was 98% in the immediate and 97% in the early loading group, demonstrating the ability to immediately load these implants. The mean bone level change was slightly higher for the immediate loading group. 40 Shorter healing times can result in the ability to restore and load implants earlier. There is an increasing trend to load implants either immediately or to perform early loading. Provided that treatment is well-executed and a high level of primary stability exists, one meta-analysis found no differences in failure rates and outcomes among immediate, early or conventional loading. 41 However, a review concluded that in the case of mandibular overdentures supported by 2 implants, conventional loading continues to be standard treatment. 42 An early loading protocol at 6 to 8 weeks post-placement for implants with rough surfaces that supported single crowns and fixed prostheses in the posterior mandible, as well as immediate loading, was also supported in a review of 19 papers by Cordaro et al, including 8 on early loading. 43 Most recently, an SLActive surface coating has been used on a zirconium-titanium implant. Titanium-zirconium offers greater tensile and fatigue strength than titanium, which may be useful in some challenging situations requiring greater implant strength, including for narrow-diameter implants. 44 In addition, in such challenging situations, this TABLE 2.

7 DENTAL LEARNING increased strength might enable the use of 4.1 mm diameter instead of 4.8 mm diameter implants, or 3.3 mm diameter implants instead of 4.1 mm diameter implants to accommodate the available bone and remove less bone during creation of the osteotomy. Zirconium and titanium have also been shown to have similar properties with respect to microbiological findings. 45 In a double-blind randomized controlled trial comparing zirconium-titanium and titanium implants in a split-mouth model with mandibular overdentures retained by 2 implants, both the survival and success rates were similar and slightly higher for the titanium-zirconium implants with an SLActive coating compared to SLA titanium implants (98.9% vs 97.8% for survival rates and 96.6% vs 94.4% for success rates). There was no significant difference in the peri-implant bone levels at 1 year. 46 Titanium-zirconium implants with SLActive surface coatings have also been shown in animal studies to offer greater osseointegration than SLA titanium implants 47 and a faster healing time. 48 A pilot study also demonstrated excellent osseointegration, good survival and success rates at 24 months postplacement, as well as good crestal bone levels. 49 Given the improved osseointegration observed with these implants, it can be hypothesized that these may prove useful in the future by allowing the use of longer posterior cantilevers or cantilevers from a single tooth. They may also prove to be useful in some clinical situations where bone physiology is compromised by the use of medications (bisphosphonates, steroids or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs), previous head and neck radiation, diabetes, or osteoporosis. The cases below show the use of 3.3 mm narrow-diameter zirconium-titanium implants. Case Studies Case 1. Lower anterior implant-supported fixed partial denture (bridge) The patient was referred from her general dentist for implant placement. The patient s lower anterior teeth had been restored many years earlier with crowns, and recurrent caries had resulted in the crowns no longer fitting and loss of tooth structure (Fig. 4).

9 DENTAL LEARNING Figure 12. Postplacement CBCT Figure 13. Postplacement CBCT slices the patient and her regular dentist, it was decided to place a fixed partial denture supported by 2 implants. During treatment planning, the position of the mental foramena and nerves was ascertained, as well as the volume, height and width of bone available for implant placement. Given the narrow anterior ridge, 3.3 mm narrow-diameter implants were indicated, and zirconium-titanium SLActive coated implants were chosen. CAD/CAM was used to scan and create models, with the lower model used to create a surgical guide and a provisional restoration. During treatment planning, CAD simulation had been used to determine the most optimal implant placement that would ensure placement in adequate bone and in appropriate positions for the envisioned final restoration. At the time of surgery, the roots were extracted atraumatically, and after placement of the surgical guide in position, the osteotomy sites were created and the implants placed. After seating the abutments, the temporary restoration was cemented and all excess cement removed, taking care to ensure the restoration was out of occlusion (i.e., not loaded). A CBCT scan and slices were taken to ensure the position of the implants was correct. At two weeks postoperatively, the tissues were healing well and the patient was satisfied with the provisional result (Figs. 5-14). She was referred back to her dentist for the definitive fixed partial denture, which would be fabricated a few weeks later. Figure 14. Two weeks postoperative view Case 2. Upper lateral incisor The patient in this case was a regular dental attender and was referred with a horizontal fracture in tooth #10 for extraction and implant placement. In this case, during treatment planning it was determined that the narrow mesiodistal and bucco-palatal ridge width would preclude use of a standard diameter implant. Computer-aided design was again used to simulate implant positioning and determine the best angulation and position that would allow for the biologic width, the development of a normal gingival architecture and thus for an optimized esthetic restorative result. Due to the narrow mesio-distal width available between teeth #9 and #11, as well as bucco-palatal width and the 10 VOLUME 2 ISSUE 4

10 Expanded Dental Implant Treatment need for sufficient space for optimal soft tissue development, a 3.3 mm narrow-diameter implant was again selected. A surgical guide was fabricated and used for accurate immediate implant placement after the root had been extracted. The laboratory-fabricated crown was then screw-retained to the implant. The postoperative image shows good contouring and dimensions for the provisional restoration and adequate width for papillae. The patient was satisfied with the ease of surgery, esthetic provisional crown and rapid treatment (Figs ). She was referred back to her dentist for the final restoration. Figure 16b.

Seated provisional screw-retained crown immediately post-op Figure 20b. Seated provisional screw-retained crown immediately post-op Summary Clinicians face many challenges when treatment planning cases for implants. These include anatomical constraints, patient declination and high expectations. Patient expectations include a desire for less aggressive procedures with faster healing times and minimal discomfort. The treatment options available today allow clinicians to offer implant therapy to patients who were not previously candidates for implant therapy without adjunctive treatment due to narrow mesio-distal spaces/interdental spaces, limited bone or treatment complexity. This includes the development of combinations of surface technology and implant material designed to give clinicians more confidence when placing small-diameter implants and to give the restoring doctor expanded prosthetic options when taking implant-level impressions. As advances in dentistry and implant dentistry continue to evolve, technologies continue to develop that offer flexibility and solutions to treatment challenges. References 1. Patel N.
