Bridging the Gap: Immediate Implant Placement in Extraction Socket- A Clinical Case Series & Outcome Analysis

Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of dental implants placed immediately into fresh extraction sockets over a period of six months. Ten patients with a single tooth indicated for extraction were treated by removing the indicated tooth, followed by the immediate placement of dental implants into fresh extraction sockets. The clinical parameters recorded were Radiofrequency Analysis (RFA) and the presence or absence of pain and discomfort. The radiographic parameters included IOPA radiographs and orthopantomogram (OPG). All 10 patients, with a mean age of 30.4 years, were regularly followed up during the entire six-month period. Radiographic analysis of IOPA showed a statistically significant crestal bone level distally around the implant. There was no radiographic appearance of periapical radiolucency. The implants remained clinically stable during the follow-up period, which was statistically significant. The Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) values for all implants were also statistically significant.
