Abstract :

Implant placement in esthetic zone is a challenge in implant dentistry because of the interplay of multiple factors like adjacent restoration, bone, mucosa, and lip line that result in a serviceable prosthesis complementing the natural dentition. The philosophy behind implant/restorative protocols is preservation. If bone loss occurs gingival architecture will collape, which will lead to aesthetic compromise and inadequate bone for implant placement. This case report aims to describe important aspects of implant placed immediately into fresh extraction sockets, by evaluating the changes that takes place in hard and soft tissues occuring upto 2 years following the implant placement.
