bone resorption after extraction impairs the necessary bone volume and complicates the case for implant surgery and aesthetic implant prosthesis. Immediate implant surgery after extraction decreases the number of surgical procedures and the duration of treatment, while allowing minimum alveolar bone resorption and preserving the residual bone volume. Although immediate implant holds many advantages such as preservation of hard and soft tissue around the extraction socket, greater implant survival rate and higher patient satisfaction, various complications and high failure rate are discouraging factors for the clinicians. In this case report, severe alveolar bone resorption with soft tissue changes were predicted after the extraction of prolonged retained deciduous incisors and impacted maxillary canines and thus decided on immediate implant procedure. Immediate implant surgery after extraction was carried out with minimal bone reduction and tapered wide-neck implant to establish initial stability. Simultaneous bone graft was done by filling the defect area with iliac cancellous bone with additional onlay-type bone graft and absorbable membrane on the labial bone for upper lip support. A stable and esthetic result was obtained with shortened treatment period.
