Immediate implant placement following tooth extraction

Abstract

The objective of this study was to discuss the immediate implantation technique in implantology, focusing on the insertion of dental implants right after extraction, aiming to reduce treatment time and promote faster functional and aesthetic recovery for patients. The methodology adopted was a narrative literature. Studies and articles addressing the benefits, risks, and protocols associated with the immediate loading technique were analyzed. The results indicate that the immediate implantation technique presents high success rates, with implant survival up to 97% after two years, provided strict patient selection criteria are followed, such as bone quality and the absence of issues like bruxism or malocclusion. The use of imaging exams, such as computed tomography, is essential to ensure correct implant positioning and reduce complications. Additionally, the choice between immediate and delayed protocols should be based on the specific conditions of each patient. In conclusion, immediate implantation is an efficient and effective option for oral rehabilitation, with significant advantages in terms of time and aesthetics. However, the success of this technique depends on careful planning and thorough patient selection. The evolution of imaging technologies and materials used contributes to improving outcomes, however further studies are necessary to confirm its long-term effectiveness.
