Post extraction palatal socket implants. A case report

The article presents a case report of a 42-year-old man with missing maxillary left first premolar first and second molars due to endodontic treatment failure and symptomatic periapical disease. The article discusses the challenge of replacing maxillary molars with dental implants and presents a surgical approach called Post Extractive Palatal Socket Implant with a “one time one abutment” approach. The article highlights the use of a primary prosthetic implant component to combine the palatal positioning of the implant with the “one time one abutment” approach. The technique aims to optimize osteointegration and periointegration in one surgical time for challenging cases. The article discusses the advantages of such a technique for maxillary molar replacement with dental implants.
