The immediate extraction and implant placement procedure is an advantageous treatment option that offers significant benefits, including preservation of the soft tissue and underlying bone. By following a straightforward set of clinical guidelines for atraumatic tooth removal, site preparation and implant placement, practitioners can provide patients with swift relief for a non-restorable tooth. While particularly effective for broken teeth and other “emergency” situations, this procedure is an excellent option whenever there is sufficient bone volume for immediate implant placement. Topics include:
Summary
Immediate extraction and implant placement yields a variety of advantages, especially when the patient has a pressing need for tooth replacement. The treatment protocol simultaneously meets the patient’s desire to receive the restoration as quickly as possible and preserves the bone beneath the extraction site. Immediate extraction and implantation shortens overall treatment time, maximizes primary stability, and can be used to achieve a more predictable and esthetic restoration.
CAUTION: When viewing the techniques, procedures, theories and materials that are presented, you must make your own decisions about specific treatment for patients and exercise personal professional judgment regarding the need for further clinical testing or education and your own clinical expertise before trying to implement new procedures.
