Advanced approach:
Immediate implant placement
The immediate placement of an implant in an extraction socket is a desirable therapy option1. It can save time, reduce surgeries and benefit patients – however appropriate case selection and thorough treatment planning are required for successful treatment outcomes2-4. In cases of immediate implant placement, filling the gap between the implant and the buccal bone plate reduces bone resorption and enhances the esthetic result.

**Definition of an intact extraction socket varies among clinical experts and includes buccal bone defects of 0 to 50%.
