Implants are becoming increasingly popular with low-cost offers pro- motingthisdevelopment.Thenumber of customers preferring implants to customary restorations is expanding. The variety of client demands, indi- vidualsettings,treatmentoptionsand risksrelatedtoinflammationandbone damage following implant treatment advocateevident,comprehensibleand durablesolutions. Safeguarding implant treatment commences with careful tooth re- moval, pre-implant treatment and implantplanningrespectingfourkey issues: 1.Early decision making to ensure implant bone support with limited number of implant placements. Sound tooth removal to protect bone loss by intraalveolar root dis- section. 2.Accuracy of implant diagnosis and implant placement by 3-D visuali- zation (DVT) of implant surgical access. 3.Minimal surgical involvement with short and low diameter im- plants while restricting augmen- tation to prosthetic relevant set- tings. Planning Early Decision Making Early implant decision making comprises anatomical, functional andeconomicissues: a)Anatomy:Treatedsevereperiodon- titis usually displays clinical stabil- ity with further drawbacks around implant supported bone at buccal plates or interapproximal sites by inflammation(Figs.1&2).1 b)Function:Followinguntreatedperi- odontal diseases or tooth removal, shifting of single tooth initiates due to myofunctional imbalance. By loss of front-canine equilibra- tion,agroupsideshiftemergeswith further bite reduction as result of ageandmisusage.2 c)Dues: Periodontal therapy of se- verely compromised teeth with bone loss >50% often results in a later date implant treatment that doubles dental efforts and bills. Economic issues should downreg- ulatethisstrategy. d)Oralcomfort:Stability,oralhygiene and esthetics become fostered by timely implant placement and optimizedimplantprosthetics. Clinical practice emphasizes a time-testedplanningwith(i)removal of severely compromised teeth, (ii) periodontal therapy securing the residual dentition, supplemented by (iii) microsurgical revision of deep intrabony pockets prior to implant placement to safeguard inflamma- tion (Figs. 3 & 4). Implant planning resides tentatively. A final quotation will be drawn after completion of functionalreliefand3-Ddigitalevalu- ationoftheimplantboneanatomy. Functional decompensation Fully and partially edentulous pa- tients frequently reveal a bite reduc- tionbyusage(wear)withlossoffront- canine equilibration and a resulting left and right grouped pemolar and molar side shift.3 Dysfunction and habits (pressing, grinding etc.) pro- mote further damage.

Early implant planning in- cludesfollowingkeyissues: 1.Inspection of the oral cavity com- prisesevaluationofthemastication muscels (M. temporalis, M. mas- seter) and the temporomandibular joints (M. pterygoideus medialis und lateralis) with focus of tension, indurationandpainpressure. 2.Osteopathic examination of cran- iocaudal dysfunctions: initiated by body statics (inclined position), (mis-) posture, walk (activity) etc. should exclude somatic sources. If applicable supportive therapy. If applicable, manual osteopathic treatment to improve physiologic function, i.e. body alignment, sym- metry and support homeostasis that has been altered by somatic dysfunctions.4 3.Carefull reduction of prominent protrusivecontacts(front)andslid- ingbarsduringlaterotrusiononthe operatingside. 4.Placementofarelaxationappliance in the maxilla (overbite and deep biteinthemandible)forfunctional decompensation with a frontal plateau allowing a front-canine equilibration and temporary relief inmolarsbyverticalreleaseof1mm (Fig.5). The primary objective is the de- compensation of use-related dys- functions to achieve relief, vascular- ization and mineralization of the alveolar bone prior to implant place- ment. Subsequent realization of the issues 1–4 ensures dispenses of the habitualusepatternsafterfourtosix weeks wearing.
