Immediate implant placement review before and after extraction

It is a treatment method that involves extracting the tooth and immediately placing an implant at the same time.

 

It was common practice to wait several months after extraction before placing an implant, but now,

 

Currently, if the bone condition and inflammation status are appropriate, immediate implant placement after extraction is possible.

 

What are the advantages of implants?

 

Reduction in the number of treatments (performing extraction and implant placement simultaneously)

 

Anesthesia, incision, and recovery period all at once

 

Minimizing bone loss → Favorable for aesthetic and functional restoration

 

Shortening treatment duration → Minimizing patient burden

 

In particular, it is a highly effective implant treatment method for office workers and busy modern people.

 

Disadvantages of implants

 

However, it does not apply to all patients.

 

It is difficult to apply in cases of severe infection or poor bone condition.

 

Precautions

 

No alcohol or smoking for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery!!! (★Smoking and alcohol increase the risk of failed bone fusion and infection)

 

Regular check-ups for designated implants and thorough oral hygiene management are essential.
