ABSTRACT

There is a widespread tendency in oral implantology that leads to consider the immediate post-extraction implant more frequently in the frontal region and, although less often, in posterior areas. Each of these sectors has its peculiarities, advantages, and risks. Although there are several shared protocols for the immediate post-extraction system in the front area, there are none for those in the rear sectors. The aim of this study is to propose, through the presentation of a case report, systematics that makes it as predictable to the clinician beforehand, in the diagnostic phase, to draw up a treatment plan as close as possible to the situation that will be found once the tooth has been extracted. That is, to give a technique, which in any case is always for experienced operators, for which the immediate insertion of the implant once the multi-rooted tooth has been extracted and its long-term success is more predictable.
