One year follow-up of bone remodeling around two-piece dental implants installed in one-step using early type 2 flapless placement

Abstract

Background: The dental implant placement into incompletely healed sockets is widely discussed in the literature. Types of implant placement in dependence of healing time after tooth extraction and degree of tissue healing were described during the consensus conferences and its published materials. Meanwhile, in the described early type 2 implant placement methods, the primary matrix of the healing socket is usually removed. Due to the fact that the socket content is transforming into bone during healing, it is necessary to evaluate the integration of implants installed (early type 2 placement) using one-step flapless approach, with preservation of socket content.
