Abstract
Case Selection Criteria for Predictable Immediate Implant Placement and Immediate Provisionalization
Highlights
When having to replace a failing tooth in the esthetic zone, a dental implant is a predictable and successful treatment option that does not involve the preparation of adjacent teeth [1,2]
A search of the literature was performed focusing on immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization
The Implant Database (ID) was certified by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and approved by the University Committee on the Activities Involving Human Subjects (UCAIHS)
Summary
When having to replace a failing tooth in the esthetic zone, a dental implant is a predictable and successful treatment option that does not involve the preparation of adjacent teeth [1,2]. When compared to tooth-supported prostheses, dental implants usually require longer periods of treatment. An additional 3-6 months of sub mucosal healing prior to functional loading are essential for its osseointegration [4]. During this time interval, a removable provisional restoration can be used to replace the missing tooth but oftentimes, patients do not tolerate such prostheses well. The immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization (IIPIP) technique involves placement of the implant immediately after tooth extraction and providing an implant-supported fixed restoration
