ABSTRACT:
A simplified operation for setting a dental implant into bone following tooth extraction uses the cavity left by the extraction rather than drilling. To hold the implant in the proper position in the tooth cavity, it is braced with resorbant material. The implant can be surrounded by resorbant material in various ways: it may be emplaced between two blocks of resorbant material, the blocks sewn together, and the combination inserted into the cavity; or resorbant material may be cut into a strip and the implant rolled up in the strip prior to insertion. Additional resorbant material can be inserted to adjust the position of the implant. With the implant properly aligned, the gums flaps are sutured over the resorbant material and implant. In time, bone will grow around the implant and firmly fix it into the bony structure. A dowel or abutment head may then be mounted to the implant for attaching a prosthetic tooth, bridge, or the like.
