  • Title: Early implant placement following single-tooth extraction in the esthetic zone: biologic rationale and surgical procedures.
    Author: Buser D, Chen ST, Weber HP, Belser UC.
    Journal: Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent; 2008 Oct; 28(5):441-51. PubMed ID: 18990995.
    Abstract:
    Early implant placement is one treatment option for implant therapy following single-tooth extraction in the anterior maxilla. The surgical technique presented here is characterized by tooth extraction without flap elevation, a 4- to 8-week soft tissue healing period, implant placement in a correct three-dimensional position, simultaneous contour augmentation on the facial aspect with guided bone regeneration using a bioabsorbable collagen membrane combined with autogenous bone chips and a low-substitution bone filler, and tension-free primary wound closure. The surgical step-by-step procedure is presented with a case report. In addition, the biologic rationale is discussed.
