Graftless Immediate Dual Implant Anatomic Placement With Immediate Provisional Passive Loading and Definitive Hybrid...

Immediate implant placement is well-known science and treatment in implant dentistry. It is a multitasking treatment consisting of surgical, prosthodontic, and periodontal aspects, implemented to obtain long-term clinically esthetic and functioning prosthesis. Immediate placement enables clinicians to reduce the number of surgical steps and shorter treatment duration. It has become a standard surgical protocol in modern implant practice. According to existing literature, dual implant placement can be done to avoid any cantilever effect in a single implant and to distribute masticatory forces. This clinical report describes the extraction of an infected mandibular right first molar, (46, Federation Dentaire Internationale) followed by immediate dual placement of dental implants in the rinsed and cleansed sockets. The tooth was atraumatically extracted from the socket, and the latter was prepared to the required depth, and endosseous implants were placed in both the mesial and distal sockets. This atraumatic graft-free operating technique and immediate placement resulted in the preservation of hard and soft tissues. It also increased the patient's comfort, acceptance, and satisfaction due to immediate loading with a provisional removable prosthesis. This was later replaced with a dual screw-retained hybrid implant crown.
