Novel Approach to Overcome Limitations Associated With Immediate Implant Placement: Osteotome Technique

This case series introduces a novel osteotome technique as an alternative to conventional drilling protocols for immediate fixtures. Immediate implant placement is associated with significantly less bone-to-implant contact, and navigating the anatomy of the socket can be difficult. Osteotomy drills remove already-limited bone following atraumatic extractions. The osteotome technique has been introduced as an alternative approach to prepare the osteotomy in the appropriate position relative to the socket apex and surrounding alveolar walls. The surgical technique and case reports demonstrating it are presented, highlighting the technique's benefits.
