The immediate restoration or loading of dental implants has been an intense area of clinical trial and research in the field of dental implantology over the last several years. The ability to temporize implants that are placed and prevent the use of a removable transitional appliance is appealing to not only patients, but dentists as well. Additionally, the placement of implants into immediate extraction sockets, and the immediate restoration of those implants, is showing excellent success rates clinically. Enhancement of the healing phase using platelet rich plasma seems to be a key contributor to the healing and maturation rate of both the hard and soft tissues. This article will review the immediate restoration of implants placed into multiple extraction sockets and the use of platelet rich plasma to enhance the healing phase.
