Concomitant oroantral communication repair and immediate implant placement: a five-year case report.

This case report describes the placement of a large-diameter implant at the time of a maxillary molar extraction in conjunction with a simultaneous oroantral communication (OAC) repair and an intraosteotomy lift and the 5-year postloading follow-up. Literature exists supporting the efficacy of immediate implant placement using both conventional and modified insertion techniques. However, no reports detail the repair of an OAC concomitantly with immediate implant insertion.
