Aims:
The purpose of this meta-analysis is to systematically evaluate published evidence literature pertaining to report the differences in the survival rate of immediate implant placement in infected sites and non-infected sites.
Materials And Methods:
After the application of the search strategy in PUBMED, SCOPUS, and EMBASE research databases, a total of 1864 papers were found. Titles and abstracts were screened, yielding 77 full-text papers. After the overall assessment, 23 articles were recruited based on the inclusion criteria for analysis of data.
Results:
Out of 23 studies, 14 studies were combined to assess the risk ratio of survival rate of immediate implant placement between infected and non-infected sites, depicting no significant difference on the survival rate. Further pooled estimate of proportion of survival rates were 0.98 suggesting 98% survival rate of immediate implants placed in infected sockets when 9 retrospective and prospective studies (no control studies) were combined. These findings demonstrate that successful outcomes can be expected for immediate implants when placed into infected extraction sockets.
Conclusions:
Within the limitations of this systematic review, equal predictability for successful osseointegration and long-term functioning of immediate implants was found in infected as well as in healthy extraction sites, but astringent antiseptic environment is mandatory for wound healing of immediate implants.
