Abstract

Implant treatment has long been established as the main stream for the recovery of lost teeth. Implant therapy, which began to be practiced under the concept of osseointegration, was performed on the completely healed bone, but implant placement immediately after extraction, which began to be introduced in the 1970s, began to become a widely used treatment modality since the 2000s. However, as with all other procedures, immediate implant placement is not omnipotent. If you are obsessed with the obsession that you need to provide quicker implant treatment to the patients, and if you do it as if you are being chased by time, it is the immediate implant placement that can lead to various embarrassing situations. In this article, to reduce complications, the author will look at some issues that need to be considered when placing implants immediately after extraction.
