IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT AT ANTERIOR MAXILLARY REGION
INTRODUCTION: Immediate dental implants have greatly reduced the treatment time and the number of surgical interventions. Recently it has been noted that this treatment modality can be used in aesthetically demanding cases especially the anterior maxilla. CASE REPORT: In the present case report a 24 year old male patient reported to our institution with fractured upper front teeth. After careful examination and treatment planning immediate implant treatment was initiated. The teeth were extracted atraumatically. We placed three implants into the extraction sockets. The prosthetic rehabilitation was done with metal ceramic crowns. CONCLUSION: It was found that the immediate implant therapy has several advantages such as reduced treatment length, preservation of soft and hard tissues surrounding the implant and reduced number of operations. Immediate implant treatment therefore has a great future in the treatment of aesthetic zones.
