Abstract

Abstract

Background of the study: The study focuses on dental implants, which are used to replace missing teeth. A key decision in implant dentistry is when to place the implant relative to tooth extraction. This review compares two main approaches: immediate implant placement (placing the implant during the same surgery as tooth removal) and delayed implant placement (placing the implant after the extraction site has healed, typically 6 to 12 months later). The study aims to compare the success rates and complications associated with these two timing strategies, especially concerning the implant's ability to withstand chewing forces. Research objectives and hypotheses: The primary objective was to compare post-extraction implant placement (immediate) with conventional implant placement (delayed) regarding their survival rates when subjected to immediate loading (chewing forces). The secondary objective was to identify the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches. The null hypothesis was that there would be no significant differences in the main outcomes between the two approaches, although each method would have its own set of pros and cons. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, a bibliographic search was conducted in the PubMed and Scopus & web of sciences database for clinical and retrospective studies and clinical trials published in the past years from 2013 at 2023. The inclusion criteria were articles written in English, published within the past years, up to 2023, in order to collect the following types of articles: clinical case reports, randomized clinical trials, retrospective and descriptive studies, prospective studies, protocols, and clinical studies related to the topic of this review, the full text of which is freely available. .Exclusion criteria Articles not related to the main topic, articles published more than 10 years ago, articles without abstracts, in vitro or animal studies, were excluded from this work. The search and selection resulted in 15 articles that were included in this systematic review. Results: The reviewed studies showed no significant differences between immediate and delayed implant placement in terms of the evaluated parameters, success rate, survival rate, bone changes and stability rates and resistance to chewing forces. Discussion: Immediate implant placement is a successful and effective treatment that reduces treatment time and resists chewing forces well. Conclusion: Immediate implant placement represents a valid alternative to delayed implant placement.

Keywords: immediate implant, delayed implant, immediate loading chewing forces, dental implant.
