Retrofitting a tooth-supported crown with an implant and abutment: A clinical report

Effect of immediate implant placement and loading on soft tissue management

“…For healing site implant placement, 4 -6 months are needed for osseointegration after the healing of extraction sockets [8]. Alternative provisional dentures for the anterior regions at the time of osseointegration were described earlier, such as removable partial dentures and resin-bonded fixed partial dentures [7,14]. But a removable partial denture is not usually a tenderness choice for patients and resin-bonded fixed partial denture is not convenient for the loss of four teeth in the anterior maxilla; therefore, immediate loading is beneficial to patient satisfaction.…”

“…Immediate implant placement terminology describes implant placement following tooth extraction immediately into extraction cavity. Immediate implant placement has favorable outcomes [7]-decreasing the treatment time, decreasing the number of surgeries, and decreasing the risk of hard and soft tissue resorption [8,9]. In other words, it was shown that immediate implant placement at the extraction sites preserves the bone and soft tissue volume [10][11][12].…”
