[A clinical study of immediate dental implant and immediate restoration].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the clinical results of immediate implant and immediate restoration and to discuss the applying principles of these techniques.


METHODS
Fourteen cases underwent immediate implant surgery for 37 dental implants immediately after the teeth or roots were extracted. Among them, 6 cases (14 implants) received immediate restoration after implant placement. The second stage operation and final restoration were performed 4 months on average postoperatively, and the mean follow-up time was 22 months.


RESULTS
Two implants from 1 case were lost at 3 weeks after immediate implant and immediate restoration. The rest cases achieved good clinical results. Accumulative 4-year survival rate was 94.6%.


CONCLUSIONS
The result of immediate implant and immediate restoration is predictable if the cases are properly selected.
