Abstract

The timing of implant placement after tooth extraction plays a critical role in osseointegration, peri-implant healing and bone quality. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the biological responses of immediate versus delayed implant placement on implant stability and bone quality. Hence, a total of 100 participants were divided into two groups, with immediate and delayed implant placements. Thus, we show delayed implants exhibited superior early stability and bone density, but after 6 months, no significant differences were observed.

Keywords

Dental implant placement, immediate implants, delayed implants, osseointegration, peri-implant bone quality
