A Review on Immediate Implant Placement in Fresh Extraction Sockets

Abstract

Implant-retained prostheses are increasingly in demand due to the rising elderly population and the associated increase in edentulousness. Dental implants offer a number of benefits over traditional tooth-borne fixed prostheses. However patients may choose not to pursue implant-based treatment due to factors such as treatment duration the requirement for additional surgical procedures and the requirement for prolonged periods of temporization. In such cases immediate implants have proven to be a predictable therapeutic option.
