Abstract
Extraction of an anterior tooth is always a traumatic event for patients, regardless of their age. In the past, patients were required to wait long months for bone healing and for implant integration, using an uncomfortable removable denture. In the last decade or so, dentists came to the understanding that when done correctly and in the right cases, immediate placement and loading techniques can result in aesthetically pleasing temporary and long-term results, while maintaining supporting bone and soft tissues. In fact, it was found, that placing an immediate implant rather than waiting can in fact prevent some of the bone resorption which happens after extractions.
