Analogical and Digital Workflow in the Design and Preparation of the Emergence Profile of Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT) Crowns over Implants in the Working Model.

: The Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT), developed by Ignacio Loi and published in 2008, is a consolidated concept in the modeling and preservation of pericoronal soft tissues. The present study describes the analogical and digital methods allowing adequate design and preparation of the emergence profile of BOPT crowns in the working model, with a view to comparing the workflow and advantages of each method. At present, not all the digital procedures have been fully optimized to completely replace the traditional analogical methods. Nevertheless, it is only a matter of time until dental digitalization technology totally replaces the analogical clinical methods. The digital workflow for this procedure is quickly implemented and optimized, and represents the most realistic option, with possibilities for further development in the immediate future.

Manejo de tejidos blandos en implantes con carga inmediata del sector anterosuperior: reporte de caso clínico / Handling of soft tissues of an immediate loading implant on the upper anterior sector: report of a clinical case

Los implantes dentales se han colocado en sitios de extracción cicatrizados mediante un procedimiento quirúrgico en dos etapas para un periodo de tres a seis meses sin carga. Sin embargo, los pacientes esperan ser rehabilitados lo antes posible, especialmente los pacientes sometidos a restauraciones estéticas en el maxilar anterior. Después de la colocación del implante, la fabricación de la restauración temporal y la carga del implante dentro de las 48 horas se denominan carga inmediata. Esto acorta el tiempo del tratamiento, ya que requiere menos intervenciones quirúrgicas, reduce la pérdida ósea crestal periimplantaria, conduce a la preservación de la morfología de los tejidos blandos y mejora la estética. En este artículo se hablará del caso clínico de un paciente femenino de 44 años de edad que presentaba pérdida del órgano dentario 21. Se realizó valoración periodontal, radiográfica y tomográfica de este órgano dentario, se colocó implante con la utilización de guía quirúrgica y protésica acrílica termocurable, se realizó carga inmediata, el provisional fue conformado con contorno subgingival cóncavo y se toman en cuenta criterios de contorno crítico y subcrítico para el desarrollo ideal del perfil de emergencia. En las citas de valoración se encontraron los tejidos periimplantales estables y la paciente no refirió sintomatología (AU)

Dental implants have been placed in scarred extraction sites by a twostage surgical procedure for a period of three to six months without load. However, patients expect to be rehabilitated as soon as possible, especially patients undergoing esthetic restorations in the anterior maxilla. After implant placement, the fabrication of the temporary restoration and implant loading within 48 hours are called immediate loading. This shortens the time of treatment, beacause it requires fewer surgical interventions, reduces peri-implant crestal bone loss, leads to the preservation of soft tissue morphology and improves aesthetics. In this article we will discuss the clinical case of a 44-year-old female patient who had lost the dental organ 21. Periodontal, radiographic and tomographic assessment of this dental organ was performed, an implant was placed with the use of surgical guide and acrylic prosthesis thermocurable, immediate loading was performed, the provisional was formed with a concave subgingival contour and critical and subcritical contour criteria were taken into account for the ideal development of the emergence profile. In the assessment appointments stable periimplant tissues were found and the patient did not report symptoms (AU)

Pónticos ovoides en el manejo de tejidos blandos, zona posterior con y sin extracción: reporte de dos casos clínicos / Ovate pontics in soft tissue management, posterior zone with and without extraction: report of two clinical cases

Un problema que sucede a menudo en la práctica clínica es la ausencia dental por diversos factores. Esto conduce a un gran desafío para surehabilitación, ya que debido a la pérdida dentaria se genera un colapsodel reborde alveolar, lo que ocasiona alteración en la morfología óseay gingival, o en diversos casos, se realizaron extracciones sin una planeación restaurativa, por lo que su sustitución implica mayores procedimientos. Una alternativa a esta ausencia dental es el diseño de póntico ovoide, siempre y cuando cumpla los requisitos clínicos para un mejor resultado estético, funcional e higiénico. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar el empleo del póntico ovoide en el sector posterior con distintos aspectos clínicos: por un lado, utilizando la técnica de conformación del lecho gingival a presión y por el otro, la técnica directa postextracción, mediante prótesis fija de tres unidades en metal/porcelana.

A problem that often occurs in clinical practice is the dental absence caused by various factors. This leads to a great challenge for rehabilitation since due to tooth loss, a collapse of the alveolar ridgeis generated, causing an alteration in bone and gingival morphology; also, in many cases, extractions were made without restorative planning, so their replacement involves major procedures. An alternative to this dental absence is ovate pontic design, provided it meets the clinical requirements for better esthetic, functional and hygienic result. The aim of this article is to show the use of the ovoid pontic in the posterior region with different clinical aspects: first, using the technique of forming the gingival bed under pressure and on the other, postextraction direct technique through a three-unit fi xed prosthesis in metal/porcelain.

Provisionalização em implantes imediatos / Immediate implants provisionalization

A provisionalização imediata, em que o provisório é adaptado diretamente no implante recém-instalado, é uma ótima alternativa para temporização. A indicação depende do posicionamento tridimensional correto, estabilidade primária do implante e o perfil oclusal do paciente. O manejo da prótese é essencial para a estética e o desenho do pilar protético (provisório ou definitivo) pode influenciar favorável ou negativamente os resultados.

Immediate provisionalization, in which the provisional is adapted directly into the newly installed implant, is a great alternative for temporization. Its indication depends on correct three-dimensional positioning, implant primary stability and patient's occlusal profile. Prosthesis handling is essential for prosthetic abutment (provisional or definitive) aesthetics and design and can favorably or negatively influence the results.
