Maxillary Immediate Molar Implant Placement Into Palatal Root Socket: A Case Report of Two-Year Follow-Up

The palatal root of the maxillary molar is the largest among the three roots; therefore, the direction of the palatal root extraction socket can serve as a choice for the implantation direction during immediate implant placement. By directly implanting the implant into the extraction socket of the palatal root of the maxillary molar, the procedure of immediate implantation of maxillary molars can be simplified, the treatment period can be shortened, costs can be reduced, surgical trauma can be minimized, and some significant risks and complications associated with sinus augmentation surgery can be avoided. This case report, with a two-year follow-up, details the process of immediate implant placement into the palatal root socket of the maxillary molar.
