Join your Host Dr Raid Ali and Speaker, Dr Yusuf Alshafi for the first Wales Study Club of 2026!
The evening will be focussing on immediate implant placements which has become a widely accepted technique, evolving from traditional delayed protocols due to advancements in surgical methods and implant design.This approach offers several advantages, including reduced treatment time, preservation of bone and soft tissue architecture, and improved patient outcomes. Successful implementation relies on strict protocols involving case selection, atraumatic extraction, and achieving primary stability. In the molar region, immediate implants are classified based on available septal bone, which guides placement strategy. Techniques such as Dual Zone grafting enhance tissue preservation, while customised healing abutments are essential for shaping soft tissue and supporting optimal esthetic and functional results.
