ABSTRACT:Achieving Osseo integration is of utmost importance for the success of implant therapy. Poor bone density (D3 & D4 type from Misch classification) is common in the maxillary jaw, especially in elderly patients which can create a hindrance to proper Osseo integration. A successful implant therapy would optimally re-create the lost mucogingival contours while maintaining their relationship to the prosthesis by replacing the tooth/ teeth. The time of implant placement plays a crucial role and is to be decided on a case-to-case basis. The present report describes a case of Osstem TS IV implant placement in the maxillary right premolar region with a delayed loading approach.
