Implant Treatment Modalities for Missing Premolars in Specialist Care: Study on 74 Patients

Posted: September 4, 2025
A retrospective case series of 74 specialist care patients over an 11-year cohort examined implant treatment modalities for congenitally missing premolars. The study found that space optimization before dental implant placement was common, with most retained deciduous teeth extracted between ages 21 and 29. Bone grafting was performed in 23% of implant sites, with good primary stability achieved in all cases. The mean implant diameter was 4.0 mm, and the mean implant length was 9.6 mm. The research emphasizes the importance of individually planned orthodontic and surgical treatments in managing congenitally missing lower premolars, highlighting the significance of early diagnosis and collaboration between dental specialists for optimal outcomes.
