The ability to remove a non-restorable tooth and immediately place an implant allows for the preservation of soft- and hard-tissue architecture. This presentation will review the biological and technical principles for placement of immediate implants to treat failing anterior and posterior single teeth. Fabrication of immediate provisional crowns in the aesthetic zone also will be presented.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain treatment planning the single missing tooth with an immediate implant.
• Review surgical principles for placement of an immediate implant.
• Describe prosthetic and surgical principles for immediate loading edentulous patients.
