Abstract
Implant placement has been a renowned treatment for replacing and restoring missing teeth in recent past. Delayed implant placement signifies the placement of the implant in the healed extracted socket after a minimum of 5-6 months. In this recent world where everything is happening fast and time is something which everyone tries to utilise properly, the patients also want the treatment results immediately instead of waiting for long time. In 1989, it was Lazzara who introduced the technique of immediate implant placement by placing implants at the time of tooth extraction in the extracted tooth socket. In recent years several studies and advancements have been made regarding immediate implant placements. The greatest adavantages of immediate implant placements are they need minimum bone drilling, result in reduced crestal bone loss surrounding the implant and last but not least the patients need not wait for 4-6 months for the implants to be placed. In this article a small sample of 100 patients were treated with immediate implant placement and their results, advantages and disadvantages compared to delayed implant placement were recorded.
Highlights
Implant by definition “means any object or material,such as an alloplastic substance or other tissue, which is partial or completely inserted into the body for therapeutic, diagnostic, prosthetic, or experimental purpose
In case of delayed implant placements, Misch and Judy, 2000 found out that if the buccal or facial cortical plate is lost during extraction it leads to reduced bone height and thickness for implant placement after the socket heals thereby bone height and width are reduced forcing the operator to compromise with the size and width of the delayed implant to be placement
The immediate implant placement needs very minimal preparation since the extracted tooth socket preserves the anatomy of the tooth root which mimics the root form implants
Summary
Implant by definition “means any object or material,such as an alloplastic substance or other tissue, which is partial or completely inserted into the body for therapeutic, diagnostic, prosthetic, or experimental purpose. The placement of a dental implant in an extraction socket at the time of extraction is known as immediate implant placement. Delayed implant placement signifies the placement of the implant in the healed extracted socket after a minimum of [5,6] months. In 1965 Branemark placed the first endosteal titanium implant successfully into healed tooth socket. The protocol of placing implants was into the healed teeth sockets until 1989 when Lazzara placed implants at the time of tooth extraction(1). The advantages of immediate implant placement have been reported to include reductions in the number of surgical interventions and in the treatment time required[2,3]
