Edentulism is most often the result of repeated tooth extraction from combined pathological process and/or dental trauma. Dental implants have emerged to be a highly successful and predictable treatment modality for replacement of missing teeth. Dental implants are the devices that are surgically inserted into the jaw bone to support a single prosthetic tooth and serve as abutments or as cosmetic replacements for missing teeth. Timing of implant placement following tooth removal may be important and this concept has challenged the original treatment protocol. This article aims to present two case reports of immediate placement of implant.
