The molars are the most extracted tooth type, with immediate implant placement in molar extraction sites becoming a popular treatment option.
The benefits include a reduced number of surgical procedures and patient visits, lower cost of treatment, and less time required from the start of treatment to completion. Despite the advantages of immediate molar placement, many questions remain regarding the ideal implant diameter, optimal implant positioning in multi-rooted sockets, and management of the critical gap between the implant body and the socket walls. This lecture will discuss all aspects of immediate implant placement in molar extraction sites, emphasizing the management of the many challenges of placing implants in multi-rooted teeth.
Learning objectives
Perform atraumatic extraction techniques of molar teeth to optimize bone architecture for immediate implant placement
Identify factors that influence the success of immediate molar implant placement
