Abstract

As Dental implants have emerged to be one of the best means of rehabilitating a missing tooth, there have been various new advancements taking place in implant dentistry in recent years. It is extremely important to preserve the facial bone and the soft tissue, especially in the esthetic zone. Various such procedures maintain the width of the soft tissue and underlying bone in the esthetic areas. Conventionally it was advisable to wait for at least 3 months after the implant placement, before prosthetically rehabilitating the patient. However, with recent advances, we can provide the patient with immediate implants. This review aims to discuss a technique, which discusses on how we are able to place dental implants in fresh extraction sockets, with a buccal plate defect incorporating a novel surgical method along with usage of both hard and soft tissue grafts, which will enable us to achieve pleasing esthetics for the patient, without causing future facial bone resorption.
