[Clinical analysis of immediate implant and implant-supported complete denture for 12 patients with severe periodontitis].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate clinical results of implant-supported complete denture of 12 patients with severe chronic periodontitis.


METHODS
After systematically periodontic treatment and controlling the inflammation, 12 cases with severe chronic periodontitis were extracted the residual teeth and received immediate implant placement. The implant-supported complete dentures were finished at 5 or 6 months after operation. Restorative results were evaluated with clinical examination, radiological examination and chief complaints of the patients.


RESULTS
A total of 108 implants were placed into 20 dental arches, including 37 immediate implants. Average loading was for 3 years and all implants were stable. Progressive bone resorption was observed around two implants. The average bone resorption of other peri-implants was (1.33 +/- 0.10) mm. The implant survival rate was 98.1%. The immediate implant survival rate was 97.3%.


CONCLUSIONS
After periodontic treatment, the patients with severe chronic periodontitis could be restored using immediate implant placement and implant-supported complete denture. It can shorten the treatment period, reduce absorption of alveolar and obtain a favorable result by oral health care.
