Early Implant Placement with Immediate Loading in the Mandibular Anterior Region: A Rapid Solution to Edentulism

Table 1

Summary of the research.

Key findings	Clinical implications
Periodontally compromised tooth with periapical pathology. No significant medical history.	Early implant placement with immediate loading was planned.
Mesiodistal dimension at crest of the bone radiographically: 7 mm; Mesiodistal dimension at crest of the bone clinically: 8 mm; Buccolingual width: 5.1 mm	of implant size (NobelReplace® Conical Connection) was selected.
Mesiodistal dimension: At height of contour: 5.5 mm; Apicocoronal height: 10 mm	Adequate height and width for crown placement.
More than 35 Ncm torque was achieved.	Immediate loading was possible within 72 hours.
Limitation of the present study	1. At the time of tooth extraction, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed. There may have been a certain amount of bone loss during the four-week interval. Repeating the CBCT at the time of implant placement could accurately reproduce the extent of bone remodeling; 2. The provisional restoration provided during immediate loading could have been enhanced to better maintain the papillary height; 3. A long-term follow-up period is essential to accurately assess the success of the procedure. It is crucial for obtaining a proper conclusion regarding its overall success or failure
Recommendations	This case report documents early implant placement with immediate loading within a limited follow-up period. To draw meaningful conclusions, further research, such as randomized trials or longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes, is essential
