Indication Specific Implants: Immediate Implant Placement in a Molar Extraction Socket

A multi-rooted extraction socket is often too large to accommodate a traditional size implant. Problems include the inability to gain adequate primary stability, use of large amounts of graft material, and poor embrasure spaces causing food impaction. Dr. Noffze will discuss treatment alternatives including immediate implant placement into the molar extraction socket, avoiding the time and expense of grafting the site prior to implant placement. This lecture is intended for all implant surgeons and restorative dentists.

At the completion of the lecture the participant will have gained insights regarding:

• How to identify appropriate implant candidates
• “Same Day Solution” to simplify and shorten treatment times
• Comprehensive understanding of posterior defects and how to improve final outcomes
• Improve emergence profiles and reduce large gingival embrasures spaces
