IMMEDIATE IMPLANT-TREATMENT PLANNING AND SURGICAL STEPS

ABSTRACT: Modern dentistry aims to restore patients' dentition to its natural physiological anatomy, function, comfort, aesthetics, speech, and overall health, particularly for missing teeth. Implant dentistry uniquely achieves this ideal, even in cases of atrophy, disease, or injury to the stomatognathic system. Immediate implant placement (Type 1 protocol)—inserting implants into fresh extraction sockets during surgical tooth removal—offers advantages like reduced treatment time, fewer surgeries, low morbidity, and immediate provisionalization, enhancing patient satisfaction, especially in esthetic zones.
