Implant site development using titanium plate and platelet-rich fibrin for congenitally missed maxillary lateral incisors: A case report
WORLD JOURNAL OF CLINICAL CASES(2022)
摘要
BACKGROUND Bone deficiency and soft tissue atrophy in the absence of maxillary lateral incisors are among the most challenging problems for implant clinicians. Autologous bone grafting is the gold standard for bone augmentation, but not without limitations. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a biodegradable autologous biomaterial, has been widely used for bone and soft tissue management. Moreover, titanium plate is an advantageous barrier due to its good space-maintaining ability. However, there is a lack of literature on implant site development using titanium plate and PRF for congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors. CASE SUMMARY The patient was a 19-year-old girl with a congenitally missing tooth (#12). She underwent implant placement and simultaneous autologous bone grafting with titanium plate and PRF. At the follow-up visit 15 d post-procedure, the vascularization of soft tissue was visible. There was no swelling or pain after the surgery. Six months postoperatively, bone regeneration was evident. Subsequently, the definitive restoration was placed, and the patient was satisfied with the esthetic outcomes. CONCLUSION Implant site development using titanium plate and PRF for congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors is a feasible procedure. In this case, the labial bone plate was displaced but remained connected to the base bone, ensuring blood supply. The titanium plate fixed the labial bone plate and maintained the osteogenic space, while the PRF provided growth factors and leukocytes for bone and soft tissue regeneration. Furthermore, the procedure reduced the surgical complexity and adverse reactions, displaying outstanding esthetic outcomes.
