Abstract:
Socket grafting or immediate implant placement are established treatment pathways for management of tooth extraction sites. Immediate implant placement reduces treatment time, patient discomfort, and cost for implant-supported restorations. Clinicians utilize various material, technology, and technique approaches to maximize functional, esthetic, and longevity outcomes. This article, in which two case reports are illustrated, describes the use of minimally invasive immediate implant treatment using dynamic navigation, bone grafting, and dehydrated deepithelialized human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM). dHACM is an important adjunct when performing minimally invasive grafting for implant procedures, as it possesses signaling proteins that can facilitate wound healing and regulate inflammation and pain. Considerations and implications for this treatment approach and material selection are presented.
