Title: Immediate implant placement in infected sites: Clinical outcomes, challenges, and protocol optimization
Abstract:
Background:
Immediate implant placement in infected sites remains controversial due to potential risk of failure and post-operative complications. Optimizing surgical protocol may improve outcomes.
Objective:
To evaluate clinical outcomes and complications of immediate implant placement in previously infected extraction sites.
Materials & Methods:
• Study design: [e.g., prospective case series]
• Number of patients/sites: [insert number]
• Inclusion criteria: [e.g., patients with periodontally or endodontically infected teeth indicated for extraction]
• Exclusion criteria: [e.g., uncontrolled systemic disease, smoking >X cigarettes/day]
• Surgical protocol: [debridement method, irrigation, antibiotic regimen, type of implant, immediate/delayed loading]
• Follow-up period: [insert months]
• Outcome measures: implant survival, bone loss, soft tissue healing, complication rates
Results:
• Implant survival rate: [98 %]
• Complications: [e.g., infection, peri-implantitis, soft tissue recession]
• Comparison with baseline and expected outcomes
Conclusion:
Immediate implant placement in infected sites [is feasible/needs caution] with proper debridement and protocol adherence. Further studies with larger sample sizes are warranted.
