Atraumatic tooth extraction and immediate implant installation: advantages and specifications

Abstract

Presently, in instances of single tooth loss in the esthetic area, simultaneous dental implant placement during tooth extraction has become the preferred method for enhancing the stability of the alveolar ridge. The advantages of immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sockets are that the total treatment time can be shortened, the number of invasive surgeries can be reduced, and patient discomfort can be reduced due to fewer surgeries and immediate placement has been reported to exhibit similar survival and success rates to delayed implant placement after socket healing. The atraumatic extractions, and implant placement in the socket of the extracted tooth are the best alternative to maintain the thickness and color of gingival tissue and are less costly. This study aims to debate the general concepts concerning atraumatic tooth extraction in association with immediate implant placement. 46 bibliographic articles published in English were analyzed. atraumatic extraction is a surgical technique that can present major clinical advantages in the outcome of prosthetic rehabilitation. It provides greater preservation of alveolar bone and adjacent soft tissue.
