Guidelines for Selecting the Implant Diameter During Immediate Implant Placement of a Fresh Extraction Socket: A Case Series.

This prospective case series proposes a method for selecting the diameter of immediate postextraction anterior implants and guiding the placement position of the implant based on the buccolingual dimension with the goal of preserving the buccal bone wall. The socket buccolingual distance was measured to determine the appropriate implant diameter, considering a 3-mm gap to the buccal wall. Pre- and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography images were compared to evaluate the buccal bone.

Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration of compromised sockets: a novel technique.

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to describe a protocol for a one-stage technique called Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR), which uses autogenous bone grafts to restore peri-implant bone defects, presenting the results of mid-term follow-up.

Summary: The patient presented a left central incisor that was compromised and with a total loss of buccal bone wall. The proposed treatment followed a protocol of immediate implantation, with a flapless surgery, using corticocancellous bone graft harvested from the maxillary tuberosity to restore the bone defect in question.
