Although single-tooth implants have excellent survival rates, their survival is frequently accompanied by a loss of peri-implant marginal bone. Immediate implantation accompanied by restoration in the extraction socket may reduce soft and hard tissue recession of the alveolar ridge, thereby minimizing initial bone remodeling. While depth of bone support and peri-implant soft tissue are key factors in the health and function of implants, integrating peri-implant soft tissue is essential for restorations in the esthetic zone.
