Abstract

The replacement of missing teeth has become a transition from dentures to dental implants in the present era. Implant placement in anterior regions has the most aesthetic challenges in implant dentistry as tooth loss leads to bone resorption and collapse of gingival architecture, which causes aesthetic compromise and inadequate bone for implant placement. Immediate implant placement and loading have become a popular treatment modality and they are being widely used to reduce the treatment time which is a major disadvantage with conventional implants. Immediate implant placement into fresh extraction socket maintains gingival aesthetics and increases the comfort of the patient. The present case report highlights the placement of two compressive implants into fresh extraction sockets and immediate loading within 72 h or less than that. Immediate placement and early loading of the dental implant provide advantages such as fewer surgical procedures, shorter treatment time and improved aesthetic and psychological confidence.
