Abstract

This study reports 4-year experiences with placement of hydroxylapatite-coated dental implants into extraction sites immediately after tooth extraction. Small defects present after implant placement were treated with dense, nonresorbable hydroxylapatite. Larger defects present after implant placement were treated with demineralized bone. Indications and contraindications for placement, as well as surgical techniques, are discussed.
