Abstract
The aim of this case report is to expand on previous studies of flapless immediate implant placement in sites with a large gap distance, without the application of regenerative materials. In this case report, an immediate implant was placed in a fresh molar extraction site with a large gap distance from the implant surface to the socket walls without the use of a bone graft, membrane, or coronal flap advancement for primary closure. Clinical healing was consistent with spontaneous extraction socket healing. Uncovery at 3 months revealed complete socket fill and secondary stability of the implant. After 2 years and 2 months, bone levels remain stable. This case report demonstrates the natural healing potential of an extraction socket, which can provide sufficient bone healing and dimensional stability for implant osseointegration and a functional restoration.
