Abstract
Immediate implant placement offers advantages such as reduced number of appointments and overall treatment time, preservation of bone at the implant site and optimal soft tissue aesthetics – thus, increased patient acceptance. This report presents a case where immediate implant with immediate provisionalisation was done for right mandibular second deciduous molar. After extracting the ankylosed tooth atraumatically, endosseous root-form titanium implant of 5.0 X 10.0 mm was placed and provisionalisation was done using the patient’s own tooth. After four months, final prosthesis was delivered. Soft and hard tissue integrity after six months of prosthesis delivery was well-maintained.
