Abstract:	We present a case report of immediate implant placement with augmentation of xenogenous bone material in a 36-year-old patient after upper first molar extraction with progressive periodontitis. Lindeboom et al. found 8% of complications in immediate implant placement in locations with periapical infection, while Schwartz et al. found 56.7% complications after implant placement in patients with infective posttraumatic processes. Both authors agree that immediate implant placement can be used with predictable results and that the inflammatory process on an implant site does not have to influence the outcome of implant placement and prosthetic restoration. After clinical and radiographic examination the extraction of tooth 16 was indicated. The decision on immediate implant placement was achieved due to the possible intra- and postoperative complications regarding late implantation and prolonged time of prosthetic treatment after sinus lift procedure. Alveola was curetted after extraction; during wall integrity examination we determined the position of the future implant, but there was no acceptable length. Osteotomes were used to deepen the osteotomy, and screw tap was used to form the site for the implant. Prepared site was augmented with 500 mg of xenogenous bone material (Bio-Oss®, Geistlich Biomaterials, Switzerland). Ankylos B11 implant was placed in the osteotomy and covered with a resorbable membrane (Bio-Gide® Geistlich Biomaterials, Switzerland). Mucoperiosteal flap was mobilized by cutting the periosteum, and sutured back in place. Six months after implant placement a healing abutment was placed. Two weeks later an impression was taken and shade of the future crown was determined. Ankylos Balance Posterior abutment was screwed onto the implant and the finished crown was cemented.

Abstract:	The introduction of implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of our patients in everyday dental practice has notably improved the quality of living. Such procedures can successfully resolve many functional and esthetic problems; however, some difficult cases, which require long-term and extensive intervention, still remain. First and foremost being severe jaw atrophy, where the alveolar process is no longer present. Such conditions are more frequent in the lower jaw where the stability and retention of lower complete dentures represent a leading problem in dentistry. The main cause of severe atrophies is early tooth loss, which was not prosthetically substituted. In such patients it is necessary to increase the mass of and build up the jawbone (augmentation). In those cases artificial bone is used (inorganic parts of animal bones or synthetic materials) or even bone autotransplantation. Autologus bone has shown to be successful, but it requires the opening of yet another operative field in the lower jaw (chin, retromolar area), crista iliaca or parietal bone (calvaria graft). Sometimes, depending on indications, simultaneous implant setting is performed. In more difficult cases, it is necessary to first increase the bone mass, wait 4 to 6 weeks for the integration of the autologus bone and only then perform the implantation. After the implant is fixated with small screws, we must carefully fixate the periosteal layer with resorbing sutures to ensure the operative field is covered with a double layer. The patients should not wear dentures during this time.In the lateral segment of the upper jaw, sinus lifting is performed in cases with severe atrophies and alveolar resorption of the maxillary sinus. At times simultaneously with implantation, where as in more difficult cases only sinus lifting is performed and implantation follows 4 to 6 months after.Nowadays, severe atrophies of the lower jaw (classes 5 and 6 according to Watzek) are solved with bone endo-distraction. For that purpose, special instruments were constructed and hollow implants (distractors) which after osteotomy of the lower jaw, are embedded in the osteotomised section of the lower jaw. We use one or two distractors. Gradually turning the distraction screw which passes through the hollow implant, we way we stimulate callus formation or bone growth between the described sections. With the described procedure, we can noticeably increase and heighten the front of the lower jaw. We often insert 4 implants after 3 to 4 months and make a prosthetic suprastructure with an extended bar onto which the cover denture is attached. Thus, good functional and esthetic results are achieved. In the described procedure, so far there has not been any secondary implant loss or development of periimplantitis.
