Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the clinical and radiographic results of implants placed in fresh extraction sockets for 2 years of function.

Study design: Ten patients were presented a treatment protocol involving the extraction of their remaining mandibular teeth and immediate placement of 4 implants (2 in fresh extraction sockets; test group (TG, n = 20), 2 in mature bone; control group (CG, n = 20). Descriptive statistics for the differences between baseline and follow-up values were assessed by chi-square test.

Results: None of the implants lost osseointegration. The MPI Score 0 was 80.3% in SG, 82.7% in CG, and MPI Score 1 was 13.4% in SG and 14.9% in CG at the end of 1 year, and remained stable after 2 years. No significant difference in MPI, MBI, KMW, and PPD were observed between the baseline examination and controls. Chances in MBL in CG were slightly higher in SG.

Conclusion: Placement of implants in fresh extraction sockets is a reliable treatment alternative.
