title: Dental extraction, immediate placement of dental implants, and immediate function.
abstract: Immediate function requires adequate implant stability. Immediate function requires prosthetic stability, particularly when multiple implants are loaded. Factors to consider for immediate implants into extraction sites are thickness of socket walls, thickness of gingival drape, optimal position of the implant, and patient factors such as hygiene and smoking cessation.
