Dental implants are a viable alternative for compensating oligodontia in adolescents.
[oligodontia]
To
clinically
and
radiographically
evaluate
dental
implant
treatment
in
adolescents
with
extensive
oligodontia
.
Patients
with
more
than
nine
permanent
teeth
congenitally
missing
and
implant
treatment
before
the
age
of
16
Â
years
were
included
.
Clinical
follow-ups
involved
bleeding
on
probing
,
plaque
index
and
peri-implant
probing
value
.
The
peri-implant
bone
level
was
analysed
on
panoramic
radiographs
at
time
of
implant
treatment
and
at
follow-up
.
Characteristics
of
the
dental
implants
and
patients
were
retrieved
.
This
study
involved
18
patients
(
nine
males
,
nine
females
)
having
71
dental
implants
.
The
lower
left
premolar
was
predominantly
missing
.
The
mean
age
at
the
time
of
dental
implant
treatment
was
12
.
5
(
±
2
.
6
)
years
.
The
bleeding
on
probing
value
was
determined
negative
on
44
%
.
The
mean
pocket
depth
was
3
.
6
(
±
1
.
1
)
mm
.
The
peri-implant
bone
level
correlated
significantly
negative
with
the
age
at
time
of
implant
placement
(

)
.
The
region
of
implant
habits
had
no
influence
on
peri-implant
bone
level
.
Dental
implant
treatment
in
adolescents
resulted
in
a
survival
rate
of
89
%
(
63
/
71
)
and
a
mean
loading
time
of
11
.
0
(
±

.

)
years
.
The
implant
crowns
to
be
renewed
resulted
in
54
%
(
9
of
18
patients
,
38
of
71
crowns
)
after
a
period
of
7
.
8
Â
±
Â
4
.
5
Â
years
.
Dental
implant
treatment
in
maturing
adolescents
with
extensive
oligodontia
before
is
supported
by
the
data
of
the
present
study
.
Providing
that
other
treatment
options
are
considered
,
the
areas
of
skeletal
growth
are
respected
and
the
patients
are
well
informed
.
To
enhance
quality
of
life
of
growing
children
with
oligodontia
clinicians
are
asked
to
evaluate
their
long
-term
outcome
on
dental
implant
treatment
in
adolescents
.
