Evaluation of immediate and delayed placement of cylindrical and tapered dental implants

Clinical analysis was performed on both immediate and post-healing implant insertion of cylindrical and tapered dental implants. Hence, 40 patients who required a single implant tooth in the mandibular posterior section were included in this study. Tapered implants yielded the best clinical results, thanks to superior primary stability and minimized marginal bone loss, mainly when used in delayed implantation procedures. The two different implant designs continue to yield successful treatment outcomes when healthcare professionals apply appropriate selection processes and implement proper techniques. The healing response was more favorable in delayed placement procedures compared to immediate placement.
