ABSTRACT
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of immediately placed Osteo Care implants into fresh extraction sockets of maxillary central incisor teeth with periapical lesions, without raising a flap and loaded immediately with the final abutments. All implants were restored immediately with provisional unsplinted acrylic resin crowns above their immediately placed final abutments. The final restorations were placed after 3 to 6 months. The parameters were reported immediately after implant placement and after 3, 6 and 9 months. The described technique included 20 patients of young age, with 3 cases failure. The present results showed promising data for immediate implantation and provisionalization to replace teeth with periapical lesions in the anterior maxilla. The technique applied in this study shortens treatment time and simplifies implant restoration for the dentist as well as, for the patient. It is evident that the success of this technique requires good case selection, atraumatic tooth extraction, achieving and maintaining primary stability
