Immediate implants are placed in the site of surgical extraction of the tooth to be replaced. The percentage success of such procedures varies among authors from 94-100%. Immediate implant placement is most commonly indicated when tooth extraction is done with pathologies not amenable to treatment. The advantages include reduced post-extraction alveolar bone resorption, shortened treatment time, and the avoidance of a second surgical intervention with regard to delayed implantation. This report describes a case of immediate implant placed in a maxillary central incisor followed by evaluation of soft and hard tissue changes occurring during post-operative period with a follow-up at five years.

The nature of immediate implant placement followed by an immediate restoration protocol makes it particularly suited to the anterior maxilla. In addition to saving treatment time and avoiding additional surgical procedures, this protocol has been reported to improve aesthetic outcomes by supporting the peri-implant tissues during the implant healing phase through the use of a provisional restoration. This case report documents the use of this protocol in a patient with a failing maxillary anterior tooth and reports on the soft and hard tissue changes over an observation period of 10 years. An implant was immediately placed after removal of a failing maxillary central incisor followed by the provision of a screw retained provisional crown on the same day. A definitive restoration was placed after a 3-month healing period. Not only did this protocol manage to maintain peri-implant bone levels over the 10-year follow-up period, excellent aesthetic outcomes and very limited soft tissue recession were observed with the use of this technique.

The placement of immediate implants in the posterior sector is a widespread procedure where the success and survival rates are similar to those of traditional protocols. It has several anatomical challenges, such as the presence of interradicular bone septa that hinder a correct three-dimensional positioning of the implant and may compromise primary stability and/or cause damage of neighboring structures. The aim of this article is to present the treatment and the one-year clinical follow-up of a patient who received immediate implant placement using an interradicular bone-drilling technique before the molar extraction.

SUMMARYObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of immediate postextraction implant placement. Immediate placement of dental implants have been claimed of the potential advantages such as reductions in the number of surgical interventions, a shorter treatment time, an ideal 3-dimensional implant positioning, the presumptive preservation of alveolar bone at the site of the tooth extraction and soft tissue aesthetics.Method: In this case series we reported to extract 15 teeth in 12 patients (8 males; 4 females, mean age: 46.08 years) and replace the teeth with implants immediately.Results: There were no signs of inflammation or infection and none of the patients had complaints subsequently. All implants were osseointegrated at the time of abutment connection. Postoperative healing was uneventful in all of the patients. No complications were observed.Conclusion: Within the limits of the present study, immediate implant placement was a predictable treatment.

For a long time, different approaches to minimize the dimensional ridge alteration following tooth extraction have been described even though none of them was capable to avoid alveolar bone loss. The Socket-Shield Technique (SST) seems to be an alternative for alveolar bone preservation in dental extraction planning. This technique conventionally uses a flapless approach and the buccal root portion retention to prevent bone loss. This case report describes the SST with an early implant placement in a patient who presented the nonrestorable tooth # 15 due to the extensive cavity. After six months of the implant placement a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown was fabricated and screwed into the implant with a satisfactory esthetic and functional result. The SST is a non-invasive and effective approach to tooth extraction and rehabilitation, especially in the aesthetic zone. Approximately two-year follow-up shows a satisfactory aesthetic maintenance.

This clinical case describes the effect of the osteotome technique on the osseointegration of a mandibular dental implant in a 42-year-old female patient with dento-alveolar bony defects and to review the literature regarding immediate implant placement using osteotome technique. The amount of bone expansion at the alveolar ridge and the marginal bone resorption from the time of implant placement to one year after the implant’s functional loading were recorded clinically. The esthetic outcome for the restored implant (the gingival margin) was achieved one years after the implant’s functional loading. The surgical and prosthetic sites for the implant showed no postoperative complications, and no infection or wound dehiscence was recorded during the follow-up period. The osteotome technique is good for the purpose for which it was introduced, and its advantages with immediate implant placement include reduced surgical trauma and a shorter treatment time.

Purposes: After tooth extraction alveolar socket bone undergoes a remodelling process. The horizontal and the vertical bone losses complicate dental rehabilitation with implants. Socket-Shield technique maintain the periodontal attachment including cementum, periodontal ligament and bundle bone. In this report this technique was indicated to replace the lost teeth. Case report: A socket shield technique was used for immediate implant placement on a non-restorable teeth by failure of crowns in teeth 12, 11 and 21. Through a osteotomy and manipulation of soft tissues with provisionals it was possible to correct the gingival contours and zeniths. Conclusions: Atraumatic extraction and socket preservation technique decreases the alveolar bone resorption by maintaining the hard and the soft tissue volume. Provisionalization allows management of the soft tissues around the implants. This treatment offers a predictable aesthetic and functional result .

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of favourable anatomy for palatal emergence of an immediate flapless implant in the maxillary central incisor post-extraction site. Implants were virtually placed into maxillary central incisor sites using 3D implant planning software. Following a strict implant placement criteria to keep a safety distance to the buccal plate and other anatomical structures, sockets where assessed to determine their suitability for a palatally emerging implant. From 321 patients included in this study, 62.3% presented a suitable socket anatomy for an immediate implant to be placed with the angulation for a screw retained crown. In 29% of the cases, the implants had to be labially tilted to keep a minimum distance to the buccal plate. 8.7% were unsuitable for immediate implants due to anatomic limitations. The position and angulation for an implant  in  the  maxillary  central  incisor  socket  should  be  carefully  assessed  preoperatively  with  3D  images,  as  many  sites  will  not  be  candidates  for  a  palatal  emergence and thus, a  screw  retained  restoration.

Abstract Since the first report describing the placement of dental implants into fresh extraction sockets, there has been an increasing interest in this technique. The advantages of immediate implant placement have been reported to include a reduction in the number of surgical interventions, potentially decreased alveolar bone resorption after tooth loss, and shorter treatment time. Appropriate indications, good surgical technique, eand the use of a prosthetic protocol have resulted in success for immediate loading and immediate implantation. Adverse patient-related factors, such as systemic health, a smoking habit, poor oral hygiene, presence of a thin biotype, or an infection in the region of the extraction, are contraindications for this treatment. Patient satisfaction is very high, and some difficulties related to the implantation site in late implantations may be eliminated. This article reports on three cases of immediate loading with up to 30 months of clinical follow-up.

Objective. To assess the clinical, radiographic, aesthetic, and patient-centred outcomes of a new implant system applied for an immediate implant placement and restoration approach in single tooth replacement of anterior maxillary teeth. Material and Method. Three cases were treated with a bone level tapered implant. All patients were treated with the same strategy involving flapless extraction and implant placement with simultaneous augmentation. Implants were provisionally restored with a screw-retained restoration at the day of surgery. Definitive restoration was fabricated after 3 months. Follow-up was one year after definitive restoration. Results. At the 1-year follow-up, the implants were stable and no complications had occurred. Peri-implant bone levels had increased with a mean value of 0.24±0.30 mm between definitive restoration placement and 1 year of follow-up. Clinical outcome scores showed healthy soft tissues. Mean Pink and White Esthetic scores were rated 7.0 and 7.3, respectively. Mean patient satisfaction had improved from 55.7 (pretreatment) to 90.0 (1-year follow-up) on a 0-100 VAS scale. Conclusion. Immediate implant placement and restoration with the new tapered bone level implant system are accompanied by good initial clinical and radiographic results as well as high patient satisfaction.

Immediate implant placement is the placement of dental implant in the extraction socket immediately after extraction with no healing of bone or soft tissues. The timing of implant placement has increased the debate, while patients have become persistent in their desire to be treated in an efficient and expedient manner. When seeking a solution, they wish for safe and effective treatment that can be performed in the shortest possible time and with as little pain and discomfort as possible. Dental professionals with their expertise are addressing patients request as much as possible. Immediate implant placement and loading are valuable techniques for the clinician to call upon, but their skill and experience, as well as case selection, are all crucial elements to ensure successful long-term results [1]. The placement of implants immediately in fresh sockets with immediate loading is a well known treatment modality, but the practitioner has to follow a very strict protocol. This case report describes the detailed procedures of immediate implant placement with immediate loading for 2 – implants supporting 4 – units’ provisional restorations with 5 years follow-up
