Abstract: In clinical practice, implant-supported fixed prostheses are considered a reliable treatment option for patients with tooth loss. However, for patients facing tooth loss due to periodontitis, traditional approaches suggest that an implant plan should only be made after soft tissue healing to avoid the potential negative effects of residual inflammatory tissue from tooth extraction. With advancements in technology, immediate implant placement has gained increasing attention as a way to enhance treatment outcomes and shorten the treatment cycle, provided periodontal infection is well controlled. Several studies have already explored this approach. This article summarizes the literature and analyzes current research on immediate implant treatment in patients with tooth loss due to periodontitis following periodontal initial therapy. The relevant experiences are summarized to help standardize clinical practice.
