Abstract

Immediate dental implant is one of the most accepted treatment options for the rehabilitation of missing teeth. One drawback of immediate implant, however, is the residual space that remains between the implant and wall of the socket, called the jumping distance, which can lead to bone resorption as well as formation of a bony defect, thus, decreasing the implant stability. When this jumping distance is more than 2 mm, use of bone grafts is recommended. Addition of GTR membrane along with the implant and bone graft adds to the success of implant. Hence two immediate implants were placed in the lower posterior region along with the bioactive alloplastic graft (Novabone Dental Putty, NovaBone Products Pvt. Ltd., India). The graft was stabilized using bioresorbable guided bone regeneration membrane (Healiguide, Advance Biotec Products, Chennai, India). This was followed by placing interrupted sutures to achieve primary closure. Thus, the purpose of this article is to present the technique of rehabilitating missing molars in an effective manner through immediate implants along with the alloplastic graft and GTR membrane.
