Abstract

The first known use of dental implants dates all the way back to history. The term "osseointegrated implants" was coined by Branemark, who also provided its definition: "osseointegration is the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing implant." Before placing a dental implant, he recommended that the patient wait until the alveolar bone had completely healed. In 1976, Schulte and Heimke were the first to propose the idea of immediately placing implants in freshly extracted tooth sockets. Aim & Objectives: Radiographically analyzing and contrasting the peri implant bone levels of immediate versus delayed implants was the purpose of this investigation. Materials and Method: This was a retrospective study that was performed at the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery using radiographs from a total of 80 patients. There were 40 patients who received immediate implants and 40 patients who received delayed implants. Result: According to the findings of this investigation, immediately placing implants in fresh extraction sockets can produce positive results that are comparable to those obtained using the conventional delayed approach. Conclusion: However, additional research with bigger sample numbers is required to analyze peri implant bone loss, the health of soft tissue, and success rates in order to substantiate the basis for selection of the optimum implant protocol for long term success. This research should be done as soon as possible
