Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration: Immediately Loaded Implants in Compromised Sockets

Immediate dentoalveolar restoration (IDR) extends the indication for immediate loading to single teeth whose socket presents with compromised hard or soft tissues. Martins da Rosa breaks down the complete protocol: reconstruction of the lost tissue in the same surgical session in which the implant is placed and the provisional crown delivered, a minimally invasive flapless approach, harvesting of the graft from the maxillary tuberosity and contouring of the crown to achieve an appropriate emergence profile. Clinical cases of increasing complexity show how far the versatility of the technique reaches. Of interest to the implantologist working in the aesthetic zone who is looking to reduce the number of interventions without giving up predictability.
