The Quokka Protocol: Immediacy in Modern Implantology

Buatois and Guillon propose a standardised system for immediate implant placement and loading. The work first explains the fundamentals of immediate placement and the reasoning that supports early loading, and then moves on to the ergonomic advantages of the digital workflow and to clinical applications in single units, partially edentulous segments and the full arch. Its backbone is a classification of the socket according to the state of the buccal wall — intact or with narrow, moderate or wide dehiscence — with single-unit cases resolved for each scenario. It closes with a look at the likely evolution of digital implantology. Of interest to anyone already placing implants who wants to sharpen their decision criteria after extraction.
