Alterations of the bone dimension following immediate implant placement into extraction socket: systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…, Assaf et al. ), or utilizing different definition of the dimensional change(Koh et al. ) were excluded.…”

Bone volume changes after immediate implant placement with or without flap elevation

“…When analysing bone dimensional changes three methods have been employed: clinical intrasurgical measurements by means of a re-entry procedure (Gher et al 1994;Boticelli et al 2004Boticelli et al , 2008Chen et al 2007;Ferrus et al 2010) or radiographic measurements on CBCTs (Roe et al 2012;Benic et al 2012;Degidi et al 2012;Assaf et al 2013;Morimoto et al 2015) or periapical radiographs Valentini et al 2010;Cosyn et al 2013;Covani et al 2014). …”

Correction of Buccal Dehiscence During Immediate Implant Placement Using the Flapless Technique: A Tomographic Evaluation

“…Immediate implant placement does not prevent loss of alveolar dimensions 1,10‐12 and, for that reason, alternative treatment approaches to preserve alveolar dimensions during immediate implant placement have been investigated 13 , 14 …”

“…Use of biomaterials in the gap between implant and buccal bone wall aims to minimize bone resorption at the implant site 13 . Several studies have reported lower resorption of buccal bone walls when using biomaterials 14–17 . Such studies have evaluated extraction sockets and immediate implants at sites with intact bone walls, but little is known with regard to sockets that feature buccal bone loss.…”
