Immediate Dental Implant

Abstract

Dental implants are prosthetic devices made from alloplastic material that's implanted into the oral tissues to support either fixed or removable prosthesis. They are considered a superb alternative for the rehabilitation of teeth. Immediate implant signifies that the implant is placed in an extraction socket at the time of extraction or exodontia.

Methods and Materials: There are mainly 2 methods for implant placement

1. Delayed Implant placement: It is also referred to as conventional implant placement. Conventionally, before implant placement, compromised teeth are removed. A healing period of 6-8 months was considered mandatory.


2. Immediate Implant Placement: In this modality, patient education is extremely important. This procedure also maintains optimal soft tissue contour and tissue aesthetics.

Conclusion: Immediate implant placement in the fresh socket is a predictable and successful treatment modality. The survival rate for Immediate implant ranges between 94-100%.
