Immediate placement and restoration of the implant is a widely used protocol, but loading of implants in the site which is periapically infected is still not very popular. Very few studies have been conducted and its still in debate. The conventional protocol of placing implant and waiting for it to osseointegrate is time consuming and compromises patients esthetics and psychological comfort. This report presents a case of immediate placement and restoration of implant in the region with periapical infection.
