Abstract

Implant placement in fresh extraction sockets has been thoroughly established. A waiting period of 12 months or longer to allow total socket healing results in pronounced resorption of buccal and lingual plate of the alveolar ridge. This paradigm has been challenged within the last decade by reducing the time gap between tooth extraction and implant placement. New protocols have been developed in which implants are placed at the time of extraction of the tooth, or soon after, before considerable bone resorption occurs, known as immediate implants. Immediate implant placement is now accepted in clinical dentistry for the rehabilitation of partially or completely edentulous mandible or maxilla. This article describes a case report of immediate placement of implant after extraction of retained deciduous tooth 85 in place of congenitally missing lower right 2 premolar and with conventional implant to replace missing permanent 46.
