title: Placement of single tooth implant in healed socket with immediate temporization: Clinical study.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Edentulous condition inadequately compensated for, by dentures, impair oral function and is accompanied by reduced self-confidence. In a continued effort to achieve these goals, implant dentistry was introduced. Immediate temporization is somehow a recent concept, which allows the maintenance of soft tissue contours, along with interdental alveolar contours.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Aims of the present study were to study the placement of implant in the post-extracted healed tooth socket of anterior maxilla and to evaluate the feasibility of early function on implants placed.
  
  
  METHODS
  In the present study, HI-TECH IMPLANTS TRX-OP one-piece immediate loading implant system with the built on abutment has been used. Immediate temporisation has been done and results have been evaluated in terms of stability, gingival health, esthetics, marginal bone loss, patient's psychological attitude, and satisfaction.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Out of eight implants, 6 successfully healed whereas 2 implants suffered failure.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Overall conclusion drawn from the study is, immediate temporization is a successful method providing psychological, financial and emotional benefits to the patient.
