| Title |
Results of Immediate Implant Placement into Infected Extraction Sites |
| Clinical Question |
Does immediate implant placement in patients with infected extraction sites show similar success rates as immediate implant placement in patients with healthy extraction sites? |
| Clinical Bottom Line |
Immediate placement of implants can be successful in infected extraction sites following thorough debridement of infected sites. (See Comments on the CAT below) |

Comments on
The Evidence |
This review was based on 12 articles. In these articles most infections were not classified. However, most resembled those of a chronic periapical infection. Trials that were not included in this review were animal studies that did not have a pristine control group and human studies that had less than a one-year follow up. |
| Applicability |
The practicing dentist must identify and be competent with periodontal/periapical infection management prior to immediate dental implant placement in extraction sites. |

A PubMed search on this topic was completed on April 2012. A more recent publication was found (PubMed: 20370421). This study on 275 implants finds the same results as published in the CAT and adds further documentation. | |
