CURRENT STATE AND ACTUAL ASPECTS OF DENTAL IMPLANTATION (LITERATURE REVIEW)

During the past years, dental implantation has become of increasing importance in the treatment of adentia in clinical dentistry. Dental implantation should always be based on the need to achieve a prosthesis that respects the biological, functional, and esthetic requirements. In this regard, the problem arises of searching for new short protocols that simultaneously ensure maximum preservation of the spatial and natural configuration of the tissues of the peri-implant area and its aesthetic significance. Basic methods of dental implantation are designed for standard anatomical conditions However, it may not be recommended for the following clinical indications: complex anatomy, need for minimal invasive surgery, optimization of implant placement (e.g., critical esthetic cases), and immediate loading. Hence, the application of these methods in aesthetically significant areas of the jaws should further be investigated. More effective and promising methods of dental implantation remains relevant.
