Timing Matters: The Debate Between Immediate and Delayed Implant Placement Continues.
This presentation explores the important factors to take into consideration when choosing between immediate and delayed implant placement. Examining the subtle differences between the two methods, we look at the benefits, drawbacks, and procedural features of both immediate and delayed implant insertion. Case studies in our daily practices provide insights into the usefulness of both approaches, and the decision-making process is based on a detailed examination of anatomical aspects and patient-specific factors. The presentation concludes with a look ahead at new trends and innovations in implantology, emphasizing the significance of customized treatment regimens for the best possible patient results.
