Abstract:
Immediate implants have the advantage of avoiding a post-extraction healing period of 6 months or more, and the risk of alterations and atrophy of the crest; in addition to avoiding a second surgical intervention.
Case Report: A 62-year-old female patient diagnosed with 1.4-year-old root caries without the possibility of prosthetic reconstruction, so an immediate post-extraction implant was placed to replace 1.4 with simultaneous xenograft placement in the remaining space of the alveolus with satisfactory results at 3 months.
Conclusion: Placing immediate implants in cases where possible avoids having to do more than one surgical intervention, avoiding three-dimensional modifications in soft and hard tissues, and shortening rehabilitation and healing times.
