The clinical safety and possibility of immediate implant placement in aggressive periodontitis patients in maxillary esthetic zone: An empty systematic review

Abstract

Purpose. To determine the clinical possibility and success of immediate implantation in aggressive periodontitis patients. Methods. In August 2017, Pubmed, Cochrane central database, web of sciences, Lilacs and hand search were searched with no restrictions for language, publication date or follow-up period. All types of prospective studies reporting the prognosis of immediate implant placement were included. Outcomes were implant survival rate, complications during placement and postoperatively and marginal bone loss around implants. Results. After screening of the titles, abstracts and full text of the reported studies, none of those met the a priori inclusion criteria. Conclusion. There was no sufficient evidence regarding the survival rate of immediately placed dental implants in aggressive periodontitis. Long-term prospective double armed clinical studies are recommended. � 2018 CIC Edizioni Internazionali s.r.l.. All rights reserved.
