A novel approach to preserve the buccal wall in immediate implant cases: a clinical report.

The aim of this article is to present a novel approach to preserve the buccal wall when performing immediate implants. After immediate implant site preparation, the socket is filled with Bio-Oss collagen and trimmed in a cone form to closely adapt to the buccal wall. Then, the implant is placed with low-rotation-speed condensing Bio-Oss collagen buccally. With this technique, the remodeling of buccal wall after immediate implant placement may be reduced.
