In case a single tooth has to be replaced, an immediate implant can be inserted for the missing tooth, provided that no acute inflammation is given in the surrounding tissues. The loss of tissue normally resulting from the missing of one or more teeth can be best counteracted by an immediate implantation. The most important prerequisite to a really satisfactory result is a sufficient quantity of bone tissue and soft tissue in the gap, where the tooth to be replaced is extracted.

During the immediate implantation after the extraction of the tooth, the now existing wound in the bone is immediately filled up with the bone substance and the implant. Thus, a deterioration of the surrounding walls of the bone can be prevented to a large extent. The soft tissues, when appropriately shaped, are also maintained and formed in their structure by the immediate temporary restoration. The immediate implantation and also the immediate supply with a temporary solution exactly on top of the implant can preserve bone substance as well as soft tissue in the best possible way.
