Immediate transmucosal implant placement: a report of 2 cases.
Immediate placement of implants into fresh extraction sockets has the advantages of decreasing the recommended period of healing, reducing the resorption of the alveolar bone, and achieving optimal esthetic results. A high rate of success with immediately placed implants has been reported in the literature. Conventional intervention involves 2 or 3 surgical visits, and this may not be accepted by the patient or may be of some inconvenience. The technique described involves only one surgical visit at which a transmucosal endosseous root-form implant is inserted, followed by application of a resorbable membrane.
