Abstract

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Commonly used classification systems do not inform fo dentists the dimension of the available bone at a potential implant site although regarding a variety of morphologic and pathophysiologic aspects using schematic graphs. However, for the implantologist the availability of bone substance is most important independent whether it concerns the jaw basis or the alveolus. PURPOSE OF STUDY: The present article refers to a new evaluation form, to analyze the available bone with regard to optional immediate loading site by site. According to a new systematic implant planning concept will be presented in two case reports.
RESULTS
The feasibility of the classification for planning and documentation of immediately loaded implants is presented in two case reports.
CONCLUSION
The factor of bone support for immediate functional stability is important in dental implantology. The new systematic implant planning helps to systematically estimate the dimension (ASCIi classification) of the alveolus site by site to evaluate the possibility of immediate loading. The G ttingen classification thus aids to determine the degree of stability that can be expected for the planned solution.
