A manutenção dos tecidos alveolares, utilizando cicatrizador personalizado em implantes imediatos: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Dental implants are indicated to be used in patients who have suffered tooth loss. The need for faster procedures, optimizing time and preventing resorption of the alveolar ridge, led to the emergence of a technique called “immediate implant”, which consists of installing dental implants right after extraction. Immediate implants can be performed with the use of a personalized healer, the Healer, which is generally used in the second surgical phase of implants, and is intended to guide the proper healing of the peri-implant gingival tissue, shaping the space of the dental prosthesis. PURPOSE: This study aimed to carry out a literature review on the main aspects of alveolar tissue maintenance, using personalized healing in immediate implants. METHODOLOGY: A literature review was used on material, such as articles, books and journals dealing with the proposed theme, so that it was possible to develop a research with relevant information capable of contributing significantly to the construction of this work. RESULTS: The use of personalized healing is recommended by all authors analyzed due to its low cost, good esthetics, better adaptation and patient comfort.
