Aris Tripodakis: Innovative implant concepts for immediate implant placement in compromised extraction sites

The lecture gives insight in a new implant concept for immediate post-extraction implant placement in compromised situations showing considerable bone loss. Highlighting with clinical case examples of different complexity levels and supported by a multi-center study in 30 centers and 1700 patients, Dr Tripodakis explains, that the high apical grip achieved with this novel implant concept supports immediate reconstruction of the extraction site even in case of considerable bone loss. The microbiological evaluation of the sites demonstrates a shift from pathogens to physiological (beneficial) oral flora. A five year volumetric evaluation shows stable and even improving hard and soft tissue conditions.
