Osseointegrated Dental Implants As Alternative Therapy to Bridge
SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE Osseointegrateddental implants as alternative therapy to bridge construction or orthodonticsin youngpatients: sevenyears of clinical experience Philippe D. Ledermann,DDS Thomas M. Hassell, DDS,PhD Arthur F. Hefti, DDS,PD Abstract Youngpatients often require fixed bridgeworkor orthodontictherapy in cases of traumatic tooth loss or congenitally missing teeth. Dentalimplants represent an alternative to the moreconventional treatment methods.We report positive experienceover a seven-year period with 42 titanium Ha-Ti implants in 34 patients aged 9 to 18 years. Fourteen implants were placed into preparedtooth sockets immediatelyafter traumatic luxation of anterior teeth in 12 patients aged9 to 18 years (medianage 16). Anadditional 22 patients (medianage 15.5, range 11 to 18) also received implants (N = 28), but these wereplaced only after healing of extraction sites, or as substitutes for congenitally missing teeth. Implants remainedin situ for an averageof 7.7 monthsbefore loading. Duringthe healing period, three implants were lost due to additional traumaand one becameinfected. The 38 remainingimplants osseointegrated and since have been loaded for five to 79 monthsin successful function. There was no difference between immediateand delayed implants in clinical success. These experiences demonstratethat appropriate, versatile, osseointegrated implants can provide a successful treatment methodfor youngpatients, without damagingadjacent teeth.

The specialty of dental public health is one of the nine dental specialties formally recognized by the American Dental Association. The dental public health training program at the College of Dentistry fulfills all of the educational requirements for dentists wishing to complete the board-certifying examination given by the American Board of Dental Public Health. The graduate program in dental public health offers advanced training for both dentists and dental hygienists who are interested in careers in dental academic settings or dental public health administration. The program requires two years of full-time study and culminates in the awarding of a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in dental public health. The training program places an emphasis on research and includes the preparation and defense of a master's thesis. A minimum of 40 semester hours of coursework is required, including several electives. Most required courses are taken within the College of Dentistry, but some required courses and elective courses are taken through the Colleges of Public Health, Medicine, Education, Business Administration or Liberal Arts. The program provides instruction in the 10 competency areas defined by the American Board of Dental Public Health. (See Altman, D. and Mascarenhas, A. K.
