Early Implant Placement
The clinician is in a unique position to be able to prescribe the time for implant placement following tooth extraction in order to maximize the advantages and to achieve successful long-term outcomes. This Learning Pathway explores early implant placement with soft tissue healing and/or partial bone healing (Type 2 and Type 3 placements according to the ITI classification of placement protocols).
On completion of this Learning Pathway you should be able to...
- define Type 2 and Type 3 early implant placement time points
- list advantages and disadvantages of both time points
- describe the advantages of minimally traumatic extraction techniques
- employ the Esthetic Risk Assessment when creating a patient’s risk profile
- recognize guided bone regenerations (GBR) techniques used in conjunction with Type 2 and Type 3 implant placements
