Immediate dental implantation after Extraction

There is some data that suggests there is a benefit for doing an implant procedure right after the tooth is extracted which is shown to increase osseointegration. The timing is the most critical factor and the implant should be inserted as soon as the tooth is pulled out improving chances of biointegration of the selected implant. Biointegration is the process by which implants (which are usually made of titanium) are placed into the bone which then forms a sort of plug around it. Using an electron microscope, researchers have found that the stability of the implant is only as much as the amount of bone that has grown between the space of the extracted tooth and the implant. The microscopic analyses of implant procedures also shows that the implant is not totally embraced by the bony tissue rather than a gap which is filled by the oxidized titanium (which is inert and does not affect the human body) which causes the adhesion strength required for success.
