A comparative study of the clinical effects of delayed versus immediate restoration of dental implants after traumatic tooth injury

Abstract

Objective: To compare and contrast the effect of delayed restoration and immediate restoration on the restoration after dental trauma. METHODS: Ninety patients with dental trauma admitted to our hospital from June 2021 to June 2022 were selected for the study and randomly divided into delayed group (n=45) and immediate group (n=45), which were treated with delayed and immediate dental implant restorations, and then compared the restorative effect, treatment period, aesthetics and complications of the two groups. Results: After the restoration, the restorative effect, treatment period and aesthetics of the immediate group were significantly better than those of the delayed group and the comparison was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The immediate restoration had better restorative effect than the delayed restoration, shorter treatment period, lower complication rate, and could improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth, which is worth promoting.
