The aim of this case-control study is to evaluate the success and survival rates of dental implants immediately placed into extraction sites in the presence of periapical pathology. The main questions it aims to answer are: What were the survival and success rates of implants immediately placed into extraction sockets of teeth with chronic periodical lesions. A retrospective analysis was performed based on the evaluation of certain clinical and radiographic parameters 12 months after prosthetic function of these implants.
In 25 patients (13 men, 12 women), certain clinical and radiological parameters were retrospectively evaluated with particular interest in survival and success rates of the implants (total of 30 implants, 21 in the maxilla, 9 in the mandible) placed immediately to extraction sites of teeth with chronic periapical lesions. These parameters included mobility and the presence or absence of chronic pain, probing depth, gingival index, radiographic measurements of crestal bone loss on mesial and distal aspects of the implants.

Akdeniz University
Antalya, Turkey (Türkiye)
Survival of the implants
Pain on palpation, percussion, or function (Yes/No) Implant mobility (Yes/No) Radiographic crestal bone loss (\<4.0 mm) Absence of pain and mobility and crestal bone loss up to 4 mm were regarded as survive.
Time frame: Immediately after the implant placement and after 12 months of prosthesis function.
Success of the implants
Pain on palpation, percussion, or function (Yes/No) Implant mobility (Yes/No) Radiographic crestal bone loss (\<2mm) Gingival index score (1-2-3) Probing depth (mm) Absence of pain and mobility, crestal bone loss \<2mm, GI score less than 2, probing depth \<5mm were regarded as success.
Time frame: Immediately after the implant placement and after 12 months of prosthesis function.
