Instant Implants

Instant implant placement has been a focus of clinical practice for implantologists. The technique preserves the alveolar ridge and it decreases the morbidity and rehabilitation time associated with tooth replacement; furthermore it increases patient satisfaction with treatment. Instant insertion reduces the time required for osseointegrationwhich takes 3–6 months using the conventional protocol. This novel method also minimizes bone resorption by maintaining the periodontal architecture and it leads to better aesthetic results particularly when the front teeth are lost. Thus the advent of instant extraction implants has proved to be an interesting point in dentistry.
