    Abstract:
    Implant dentistry has evolved from a functional replacement of teeth to an aesthetically driven replacement of the natural tooth system. An immediate implant insertion after extraction may maintain the crestal bone and the interdental gingival soft tissue. With proper design, the implant gingival complex will heal to restore the correct gingival environment. In this prospective study, 18 Osseotite (3i, USA) implants were placed in 13 patients (8 women and 5 men with an average age of 32 years), using an immediate implant placement protocol and immediate loading by provisional crowns. Using the life table analysis method, the cumulative implant success rate was calculated at 100 per cent. A one-year interim report indicates that the implant developed and extended; functional osseous state show a predictable and reliable method after one year follow up period.
