How does immediate implant placement
influence esthetic outcomes of the case?
Immediate implant placement introduces a
high risk of esthetic complications. Because of
this, proper diagnosis and augmentation for soft
and hard tissues is frequently necessary. Several
clinical studies have shown that the facial mucosa
is the main complication observed with immediate
implants. To achieve a correct mucosal level on the
facial aspect the implant needs to be positioned in
a coronal–apical direction and the mucosa must
be supported by a buccal plate that has sufficient height and thickness. Papilla height is also another
important factor, and this can be affected by many
factors, including tooth extraction technique,
incision placement, the timing of implant placement,
and adjacent hard tissue, soft tissue, and tooth
relationships. Thus, an array of biological and
surgical concepts influence treatment outcomes.
