Immediate placement of Implant in Fresh Extraction Socket : A Case Report

Loss of tooth in the aesthetic zone is a traumatic experience with or without compromise in phonetics. Implant placement in anterior region has most aesthetic challenges in implant dentistry because tooth loss leads to bone resorption and collapse of gingival architecture, which leads to aesthetic compromise and inadequate bone for implant placement. Immediate implant placement is time saving, possibly with one surgical intervention required, although allowing maximal preservation of peri-implant tissues. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed width and extent of the tooth for selecting implant size and design. Due to less trauma, reduction in overall treatment time, decrease in hard and soft tissue resorption, increase in patients acceptance, along with better function, aesthetics and has psychological benefits. In this case report, harmony of hard and soft tissue was preserved by immediate placement of implant in fresh extraction socket.
