Introduction. The aim of this study was to report the outcome of treatment with implant inserted immediately after tooth extraction. Methods. 22 patients with single, partially or totally tooth loss were treated with 82 Microdent^® sandblasted-etched surface implants. All implants were inserted immediately after tooth extraction. Implants were loaded after a healing free-loading period of 3 months in mandible or 6 months in maxilla. Results. Clinical results indicate a survival and success rate of implants of 97,6%. 2 implants were lost during the healing period. 73.2% of implants were inserted at maxilla while 26.8% were inserted at mandible. After a functioning period of 12 months, no late complications were reported. Conclusions. This study indicate that dental implants inserted immediately after tooth extraction may constitute a successful, predictible alternative implant treatment.
