Implant Cases: Prior to become our patient, this 42-year old has been wearing a removable acrylic partial denture with which he was unhappy. The patient rejected the traditional method of replacing the missing tooth #8 (maxillary anterior right central incisor), which would be a three unit fixed prosthesis. After a clinical, Radiographic and medical examination of the patient it was determined that this patient was a good candidate for a Single Immediate Load Dental Implant (Sargon System) to support a free standing permanent crown. It was possible to place a 16mm Sargon Implant at the site of the missing tooth #8 and at the same visit, the implant was loaded with temporary crown, which was replaced within 2 weeks with a permanent crown. The patient reported no pain, no swelling and no discomfort. This was performed on the 20th of October 1995. The patient is still performing and functioning very well up to date. The patient was last seen on the 28th of January 2000.
A retired military man in the age of 65 had no teeth at the upper maxillary left segment of his mouth, he had only retained roots of teeth #10,13 and 14. He inquired a fixed prosthesis with Immediate Load Implants. After clinical, radiographic and medical examinations, it was determined that he was a good candidate for multiple Immediate Load Implants Surgery (Sargon System). Using local anesthesia the retained roots of teeth #10,13,14 were extracted. Five Immediate Load Dental Implants (Sargon System) were placed in positions, replacing the extracted teeth and two more. The two implants replacing already missing teeth # 12 and 15 were placed in position through gingival tissue by using tissue punch (no flap surgery was done to minimize post operative discomfort to the patient). Then the Implants were expanded into the surgical sites. This activation or expansion occurs when a center screw is finger tightened, drawing the expansion nut snugly into the body of the Implant, when this expansion occurs, the Sargon Immediate Load Implant is mechanically fixed in the bone. This stability and strength is essential and often adequate for a crown to be placed on it and put into function at the time of surgery. Having this stability (which must be maintained through the healing period) gives Sargon Immediate Load Implant an advantage over other Implants which require being buried under the gingival tissue for four to six months before they can be loaded. Then 5 splinted provisional acrylic crowns were Immediately placed on the Implants. Cemented with calcium hydroxide post operative medications, instructions also were given to the patient. He tolerated the surgery very well, the patient and his wife were very pleased with the immediate results. The patient was seen after 3 days for post operative evaluations, he stated that he had no problems, no pain and swelling and also he ate normally. This is why with Sargon Immediate Load Dental Implant you get immediate results. Never before available with other Implants. This procedure was performed on the 27th of December 1995. The patient is still functioning very well with the 5 Sargon Implants placed at his upper maxillary left jaw. In two hours 5 implants were placed with 5 provisional temporaries. He had 9 more Sargon Immediate Load Dental implants placed at later dates. Patient was last seen at the end of year 1999 he does a great job at maintaining his Implants and oral hygiene.
