Case series of single stage immediate implant placements into fresh extraction sockets of mandibular molars

Abstract

Immediate implant placement into fresh extraction sockets of mandibular molars requires good case selection, detailed clinical and radiographic examination as well as adequate clinical experience and judgement. This paper describes a standard protocol adopted by a single Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, National Dental Centre Singapore, as applied to a series of four cases.
