Immediate implant placement in the posterior regions offers inherent challenges owing to the anatomy of the region. This includes loss of inter-radicular bone, increased jumping distance, lack of primary stability etc. These limitations often force the clinician to opt delayed implant placement. To overcome these shortcomings the concept of partial extraction therapy has been utilised in the present case scenarios of immediate implant placement in posterior region. The clinical outcome seems to suggest the predictability and feasibility of this method in the rehabilitation of non-restorable tooth.
