Case Report: Implant Placement and Immediate Loading With Simultaneous Bone Regeneration following Jaw Odontogenic Cyst Enucleation

Lorenzon G, Buttarello GM and Chessa G

A patient with an odontogenic cyst in the lower jaw was referred to and treated at the clinic. Referring to patient needs it was decided to perform implant rehabilitation with immediate loading at time of cyst removal. The cyst was enucleated and three implants were inserted. Also, simultaneous grafting with collagenated porcine bone substitute was carried out in order to accelerate bone healing. X-ray follow-up 11 and 18 months after cyst removal and implant placement, showed good bone regeneration and satisfactory implant and prosthetic rehabilitation.

Conclusion: Using one-piece intra-oral welded implants, resulting in low patient morbidity, a low overall prosthetic rehabilitation cost and beneficial outcome was carried out.
