Hello, this is S-Plant Dental Hospital.

Today, we will introduce a case of immediate implant placement after extraction in the posterior region of a female patient in her 70s. This female patient in her 70s needed extraction of her posterior teeth due to long-standing cavities and gum disease.

Because the posterior teeth play an important role in chewing food, rapid restoration was necessary. By restoring the teeth quickly through immediate implant placement after extraction, we were able to maintain chewing function and minimize changes in the gums and alveolar bone.

Immediate implant placement after extraction is a method in which the implant is placed at the same time as the extraction, and it has several advantages. It shortens the patient’s treatment period, effectively preserves the alveolar bone and gums, and allows chewing function and aesthetics to be restored quickly.

These advantages are very helpful in increasing patient convenience and satisfaction. Above all, for immediate implant placement after extraction, proper diagnosis and planning tailored to each patient’s oral condition and needs are important.

At S-Plant Dental Hospital, treatment plans are established through 1:1 consultation with a doctorate-level attending dentist covering consultation, surgery, prosthetics, and maintenance. Through consultation with the patient, we carefully check the areas they want improved and then proceed with implant surgery. Through the 1:1 attending dentist system, patients can receive more attentive and personalized care, which leads to successful outcomes for immediate implant placement after extraction.

For successful immediate implant placement after extraction, accurate diagnosis and detailed planning are essential. The diagnosis and planning stage is the process of comprehensively evaluating the patient’s oral health and establishing a customized treatment plan for each individual.

Before implant surgery, CT scans were used to fully assess the patient’s condition, including the state of the teeth and jawbone, and the surgical plan was established based on the simulation surgery results.

At S-Plant Dental Hospital, we review the surgical process in advance through simulation surgery before implant surgery and carefully check the implant’s position and angle beforehand before proceeding with the actual surgery. Through this pre-simulation procedure, we determine the optimal implant placement position to carry out the simulation surgery accurately and safely.

The conditions for immediate placement after posterior tooth extraction vary depending on the patient’s oral condition and the amount and quality of bone tissue. In general, the following conditions should be considered.

• Sufficient bone tissue present: For immediate placement after posterior tooth extraction, a sufficient amount of bone tissue is needed. It must be confirmed whether there is enough bone tissue to securely anchor the implant and support the tooth.

2. Appropriate bone quality and density: Not only the amount of bone tissue but also the quality and density of the bone affect whether immediate placement is possible. By confirming that the bone tissue is healthy and has sufficient density, implant stability and success rates can be improved.

3. Absence of inflammation and infection: When considering immediate placement after posterior tooth extraction, there should be no inflammation or infection in the oral cavity. If inflammation or infection is present, it can interfere with the healing process of the implant and reduce the success rate.

This is a photo of immediate implant placement after extraction of tooth #36 in the posterior region.

After extracting the loose #36 and #37 teeth, the patient wanted only one implant to be placed, so we first assisted with placing the implant only in #36.

The patient experienced a quick recovery through immediate implant placement after extraction and was very satisfied because chewing function also returned quickly. Seeing the patient satisfied gave us great fulfillment as well.
