Immediate Implant Placement In Esthetic Zone - A Case Report

Immediate implant placement in the lower anterior region involves inserting a dental implant directly into the extraction socket immediately after tooth removal. This approach aims to preserve alveolar bone, reduce treatment time, and enhance esthetic outcomes. A 26 year old female patient presented with the primary concern of poor facial appearance while smiling due to the mobility of the lower central incisor. After evaluating the CBCT results, implant was planned for the patient. Immediate implantation helps prevent vertical tissue collapse around the implant, promotes the formation of keratinized tissue on all sides, and allows for easier apical anchorage.Early implant placement does have limitations, such as increased surgical time and complexity compared to immediate placement.
