Risks of angled implant placement on posterior mandible buccal/lingual plated perforation: A virtual immediate implant placement study using CBCT.

ABSTRACT:

Background/purpose

Immediate implant placement has been considered to be a successful treatment procedure. The bone plate perforation (BPP) may be one of severe complication and potentially life-threatening situation. The aim of this virtual study is to evaluate the influences of angled implant insertion on BPP during immediate implant installation in the posterior mandible.

Materials and methods

Cone beam computed tomography images of 488 posterior teeth from 61 patients were selected. Virtual immediate implant placement (VIIP) was performed at each posterior tooth following the appropriate axis with the prosthetic-driven planning and different deviation angles of 3-, 6-, or 9-degree. BPP was then examined from cross-sectional images obtained. Furthermore, the relation of l
