Multi-Center Study Finds Pre-Operative Antibiotics Affect Immediate Dental Implant Survival

Dental implants have become a leading solution for tooth replacement, offering high success rates of 90-95% and benefits such as preservation of gum tissue and bone structure, especially with immediate implant placement after extraction. Alternative restorative options include resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs), which are less invasive and preserve natural tooth structure, though they are better suited for low bite force areas. Fixed bridges are a traditional method but involve reshaping adjacent teeth, which may weaken them over time. Innovations in dental implant technology, such as the advanced system recently introduced by Dr. Vladimir Soyfer at Lorton Dentist, enhance integration with the jawbone, reduce healing time, and improve durability and aesthetics. Research into biodegradable root canal posts using novel composite materials also shows promise for improving dental treatments in primary teeth. Together, these advancements reflect a broadening range of effective, personalized options for restoring oral function and appearance.
