A CBCT study of changes in temporomandibular joint morphology with immediate implant placement and immediate loaded full-arch fixed dental prostheses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dental implants are becoming a popular treatment of choice. Immediate implant placement with immediate loaded full-arch fixed dental prostheses (IPILFFDP) presents an attractive solution for edentulous and partially edentulous patients because of its high success rate, reduction in overall treatment time, and improved esthetics. However, whether it can minimize the risk of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) has not been previously studied.

Objective

To quantitatively evaluate the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphology changes before and after IPILFFDP, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods

Twelve participants without TMJ symptoms undergoing IPILFFDP were included in the study. Preoperative and 1-year postoperative assessment of CBCT scans were
