Each patient had a tooth that required extraction, and each had at<br>least 4 mm of bone beyond the root apex. After tooth extraction, the implants were<br>immediately placed without incision or flap elevation. Implant sites showing bone<br>bone defects or bone fenestrations, were excluded from this study. The secondstage<br>surgical procedure was performed4 months after the first procedure. The<br>following clinical parameters were evaluated at the time of implant placement and<br>at second stage surgery: peri-implant radiolucency and marginal bone loss, which<br>were evaluated radiographically.<br>Results: The postsurgical healing period was uneventful for all patients. Soft tissue<br>closure over the implant sites was achieved in1to 3 weeks after surgery at all sites.<br>At second stage surgery, no peri-implant bone defects were observed or detected<br>by probing. The soft tissue anatomy was considered clinically acceptable in all<br>patients.<br>Conclusions: Immediate post-extraction implant treatment is an implant alternative<br>with a survival rate similar to that of the conventional technique for implant<br>placement and enables preserving both the bone structure and gingival<br>architecture.<br><br></p>}, number={1}, journal={Mustansiria Dental Journal}, author={Altaee, Dr. Riad G.}, year={2018}, month={Feb.}, pages={98–104} }
