Immediate Implant Placement in Fresh Extraction Site: A Case Report.

Successful placement of dental implant into fresh extraction socket in single rooted tooth region has been reported. In cases of immediate implant placement in the single rooted tooth, initial primary stability is important to achieve predictable outcome. It is also suggested that the implant should be placed into minimum of 3 mm of solid bone apical to extraction site. The single stage approach preserves site morphology by protecting and supporting existing hard and soft tissues. Clinical success appears to be attributed to several important features of the technique which will be discussed in this case report. In the case presented, clinical and radiographic findings after implant placement confirmed a satisfactory treatment result.
