 | | Dental implants have been placed at the time of extraction with a variety of techniques including without augmentation, with bone grafting, with bone grafting and a barrier membrane, and with and without primary closure. |
 | | The ideal extraction site for immediate implant placement is one where there is little or no periodontal bone loss on the tooth that is to be extracted, such as a tooth with endodontic involvement, root fracture, root resorption, periapical pathology, root perforation, or unfavorable crown to root ratio(not due to periodontal bone loss). |
 | | In the restoration of dental implants in the esthetic zone of the maxillary anterior teeth, it is recommended that a temporary crown be considered as part of the restorative treatment plan to help shape and form the peri-implant tissues prior to placement of the final crown (Figure 8g). |
