Abstract

The immediate post-extractional insertion of screw implants in dental practice

This article presents favorable and unfavorable arguments in the use of a screw implant inserted immediately after the extraction of a tooth. There are strong arguments that make this technique the first choice in clinical cases that allow it.
The main disadvantage of this technique is represented by the necessity to eliminate all the granulation tissue present in the extraction site, and this is the reason why the chances of failure are considerably higher than while inserting an implant in a healed bone.
