Abstract :

Immediate implantation has provided the opportunity to achieve better and faster functional results. The placement of implant immediately not only prevents the collapse of the socket by reducing the crestal bone loss, but also enhances the soft tissue esthetics. Platelet rich fiin (PRF) possesses an inherent property to accelerate soft and hard tissue healing. It has several advantages which include ease of preparation/application, minimal expense, and lack of biochemical modification. The objective of the current study was to clinically and radiographically evaluate the soft and hard tissue changes around immediately placed implants along with platelet rich fiin in freshly extracted sockets and re–evaluate at 3 months, 6months and 9months. A total of 12 patients were included and all the 12 implants were successful and overall success rate of implants in this study was 100%, with good stability and osseointegration. None of the cases reported peri–implant radiolucency and mobility of the implant.
