Immediate Implantation in Fresh Extraction Sockets. A Controlled Clinical and Histological Study in Man

Abstract

The present study shows that when a screw-type dental implant is placed without the use of barrier membranes or other regenerative materials into a fresh extraction socket with a bone-to-implant gap of 2 mm or less, the clinical outcome and degree of osteointegration does not differ from implants placed in healed, mature bone.
