title: Immediate implant in fresh extraction socket of resected mandibular first molar: a preliminary clinical report.
abstract: This study presents a new technique that involves resection of the affected mesial root in a lower mandibular molar with immediate implant placement in its extraction socket. This technique offers a treatment option for mandibular molars affected by local periapical infection, bifurcation involvement, or buccolingual fractures. Extraction of such molars usually creates a large edentulous span and subsequent restorative problems. The patient is provided with a crown that is supported by an implant in the resected mesial root site and the retained distal root. The crown is esthetic and functional and easy to maintain. This technique was successfully applied on five patients.
