Abstract

Background: Immediate implant placement in the maxillary anterior region was challenging, especially with the jumping gap and limited primary implant stability. Objective: To assess the autogenous dentin graft biomaterial's ability to improve the esthetic outcomes of an immediately inserted implant. Methods: Twenty patients with non-restorable retained roots in the maxillary non-molar region surrounded by natural sound teeth were included in this study after a complete clinical and radiological examination, including patient health and clinical fitness for the immediate dental implant procedure. A single dental implant was inserted for each patient, and the resulting jump distance was filled with the mineralized dentin graft and covered by gel foam with the figure of eight suturing. The Pink Esthetic Score index of the implant-supported prostheses was evaluated six months after the initial surgery. Results: Twenty eligible patients were included in this study. The assessment of the clinical measurements of the alveolar ridge width and gingival biotype before surgical intervention and after 6 months showed no significant differences between them. The mean Pink Esthetic Score (PES) was 7.75. Only two patients achieved a total esthetic score of 10; another three patients had a score of 8, four with a score of 7, and the rest with a score of 6. Conclusion: An autogenous dentine graft effectively achieves acceptable esthetic results with an isolated immediate dental implant inserted in the anterior maxillary area.
