Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the stability of Immediate placed dental maxillary implant in fresh extracted socket versus delayed placed implant in healed site. Methods: This study consisted of 10 patients having twenty implant divided into two groups. (Ten each) First group, immediate implant placed in fresh extracted socket. Second group, delayed implant at the healed bone site. Both groups were placed at the anterior region of maxilla. Implant stability quotient (ISq) was measured by Osstell mentor device and was recorded at the time of implant placement (T1) and 20 weeks after placement, at the time of implant loading (T2). All implants were not functionally loaded during the follow up period. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) were taken to detect the alveolar bone height, width and bone density Results: No implant failures were reported in the 6-month follow up period. The study showed that no differences in the stability at the time of loading (T2) between immediate placed implant in fresh extracted socket and delayed placed implant in healed sites compared with (T1) during the time of installation. Conclusion: Immediate implant is better than delayed placed implant in indicated cases due to it is advantages.
