Abstract:

Dental implants have become the mainstay in the management of edentulous spaces. Crestal bone loss following extractions can compromise implant placement and numerous techniques have been suggested to prevent this bone loss. One such technique is the placement of dental implants immediately post extraction. The effect of implants in preserving the crestal bone in single rooted extraction sockets has been well documented. However, the effect of wide implants in preserving the crestal bone levels in multi rooted tooth needs to be assessed further. The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount of crestal bone loss following immediate implant placement using wide implants. Mean bone loss at the end of 12th month in relation to the mesial and distal aspect were 0.25 mm and 0.207 mm respectively.
