Implant Surgery After Traumatism

Abstract

The most frequent causes, effects and evolution of traumatic dental injury (TDI) which include or lead to teeth loss had been investigated. Car accidents, assaults, falls and sports could enhance the chances of crashes and the follow up checkups are often required to establish the best treatment plan. This research focused on cases where surgical implant placement with or without previous intervention had been required to restore and optimize a patient's aesthetic and function. Age, systemic diseases and medication had been investigated to see when these types of treatments are not suggested or did not guarantee a long term and predictable success. Implants and graft’s materials had been discussed. The analysis of articles found in electronic databases as Medline, PubMed, Cochrane selected by key words such as trauma, implants, skeleton-facial trauma, traumatism types, osseointegration, age, radiological assessment, dental implant, oro-facial collision, and others leaded to the review. Gray literature, studies and articles published before 2000 which were not relevant for the research were excluded, and mainly human focused studies and English published research had been proposed. TDIs global frequency still needs an official protocol to obtain precise studies, data collection and evaluations. Implant placement had been broadly approved as a treatment option when all the requirements were previously evaluated. Further studies are necessary to determine the best and more suitable graft materials, universal surgeries protocols, minimum age and drug relation in cases of unsuccessful osseointegration or implant placement failure.
