What is Immediate Implant? Which case is indicated for implementation?

1. What is an Immediate Implant?

Instant Implant is a method of placing the Implant into the bone socket immediately after tooth extractionwithout having to wait for healing like a conventional implant method (about 2 - 3 months). Thanks to that, this method helps reduce the number of surgeries and shortens the treatment time for you.

However, immediate implant placement requires doctors to have high professional qualifications. This technique is much more difficult than the conventional method because during the tooth extraction process, the doctor needs to make sure not to damage the bone border and not crush the gums. Therefore, only cases that meet the conditions can apply this method. 

To better understand the difference between Immediate Implant and traditional methods, you can see the following short comparison table:

Note:Costs may vary depending on each dentist's policy.

2. Conditions for immediate implant placement

To perform immediate implant placement, you need to ensure some favorable conditions after tooth extraction:

• Sufficient amount of remaining bone to implant the Implant post:Need enough 5mm of bone from the tip of the tooth to the anatomical structure (maxillary sinus, neural duct) so that the Implant post can be fixed immediately. Ensuring this condition will help avoid damage to important anatomical structures below and ensure initial stability for the implant.
• No surrounding inflammation:The area around the implant site must be free from acute infection or abscess. Inflammation will affect the healing process and durability of the Implant.
• Good bone density and volume:Bone density and volume must meet standards (good bone density D1, D2) so that the Implant can integrate into the bone effectively. If the bone does not have enough density or volume, the doctor can perform a bone graft before implanting the Immediate Implant (if the soft tissue meets the conditions).

In addition, the patient needs to ensure that there is no affecting systemic disease (for example, uncontrolled diabetes...). Only when all of the above factors are present, can Immediate Implant be performed successfully and ensure treatment effectiveness.

3. Dental conditions for successful immediate implant placement

Immediate implant placement is a technique that requires more precision and difficulty than traditional methods. To ensure success, dentistry needs to fully meet the basic conditions of human factors and equipment. Specifically:

• Doctor's qualifications and skills:Doctors need to have high expertise and solid experience in implant implantation. In particular, the doctor must have precise techniques to operate on small bone areas, near important anatomical structures, without damaging the bone and gum edges. 
• Modern technology and equipment:Dentistry needs to use modern technology and equipment, such as the Cone Beam 3D CT scanner and surgical design software, to help determine the exact implant location down to the millimeter. This is very important in ensuring that the implant is placed in the right position and at the right angle, minimizing the risk of errors.
• Comply with standard and aseptic implant procedures:The implant procedure needs to strictly comply with the standards of sterility and sterility of the Ministry of Health, ensuring a safe surgical environment, thereby minimizing the risk of infection and other complications.

4. Advantages and disadvantages of Immediate Implant

Before deciding to perform Immediate Implant, you should clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of this method to make the right choice for your needs and oral health condition:

4.1. Advantages of Immediate Implants 

Compared to the traditional process, Immediate Implants have a number of advantages such as:

• Shortened treatment time:The treatment time is shortened by up to half compared to the traditional method (about 2 - 3 months because there is no need to wait for healing after tooth extraction). 
• Retain the original gum line:You will not have to make a second gum incision when placing a personalized healing post, but will protect and retain the original gum line, thereby optimizing a more natural and harmonious aesthetic result after implantation - which is especially important for implant cases in the front teeth area.
• Less number of treatment sessions:Immediate Implant requires fewer treatment sessions than conventional methods. You do not need to go to the dentist multiple times, because tooth extraction and implant placement can be done in one session.
• Minimize the number of times you use anesthetics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and antibiotics:Because the procedure is shortened and performed in one treatment, you will need less anesthetics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and antibiotics. Limiting the use of these drugs helps minimize side effects and improve the body's recovery after surgery.

4.2. Disadvantages of Immediate Implant

Immediate Implant brings many benefits, but not everyone can perform this method. Here are some disadvantages to note:

• High requirements for bone conditions:Not all cases of tooth loss can be immediately implanted. For this method to be successful, you need to have good bone density and be thick enough to ensure the implant can integrate well immediately after implantation.
• High technical requirements:Immediate implant is a complex technique, requiring doctors to have solid skills and support from modern technology. Therefore, not all dentists are able to perform this method successfully.

5. Immediate Implant procedure

To better understand the immediate implant process, you can refer to the detailed steps in the DCT solution at Lac Viet Intech Dental Clinic below:

Step 1: Take an X-ray to determine bone condition

Before performing an immediate implant, the doctor will conduct an examination and take X-rays to determine the bone condition at the site where the tooth needs to be extracted. The CT Cone Beam machine will be used to take films and accurately evaluate the amount of bone, density and remaining bone volume. This is an important step to determine whether the bone area is eligible for immediate implant placement.

The Cone Beam CT machine allows doctors to clearly see the bone structure, provide an accurate treatment plan, thereby ensuring the success of the implant process. You can learn more about thisImplant imaging machineto better understand the benefits that CT Cone Beam brings.

The doctor will screen bone density to check and create a suitable treatment regimen for each person

Step 2: Extract the tooth and place the implant

After anesthesia, the doctor proceeds to extract the tooth. The tooth extraction process is performed carefully to avoid damaging the surrounding gums. This method is completely painless because it is anesthetized first.

Next, the doctor will proceed to place the Implant in the prepared position. Implementation time for each implant is about 15 minutes. At Lac Viet Intech Dental Clinic, the doctor will ensure that the implant is placed accurately and stably to serve the healing process and future bone integration.

Based on the protocol and applying modern technology, the doctor will extract the tooth and place the implant at the same time

Step 3: Place the personalized healing post immediately

With the Immediate Implant method, you will have a personalized healing post placed immediately, helping to save time without having to perform a second gum incision surgery. This process takes place quickly, only taking a short time to complete.

After 2 - 3 months, when the implant has been well integrated into the jawbone, you return to the dentist to remove the healing post and proceed with placing the restoration post and attaching the ceramic crown to complete the tooth restoration process.
