Implant Treatment for Missing Premolars: 74-Patient Case Series

Posted: September 4, 2025
A retrospective case series of 74 specialist care patients over an 11-year cohort examined implant treatment modalities for non-syndromic congenitally missing premolars. Data revealed 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 a mean implant diameter of 4.0 mm and length of 9.6 mm. Good primary stability was achieved in all cases, highlighting the importance of individually planned orthodontic and surgical treatments. Early diagnosis and collaboration among dental specialists are crucial for managing congenitally missing lower premolars and ensuring optimal implant alignment and bone preservation.
