Angled implant design (dual axis implants) in immediate implant placement in the anterior maxilla

Immediate implant placement (IIP) in conjunction with immediate provisionalization, which in some scientific literature is referred to as "immediate tooth replacement therapy", in anterior maxilla has received much attention in recent years. The long axes of conventional straight or uniaxial implant designs commonly do not coincide with the long axis of future clinical crown restorations. Finally, a retrospective comparative study assessed pink esthetic score with conventional tapered uni-axial implants versus body-shift dual axis implants, both groups having been placed immediately via flapless extraction protocol and dual zone socket grafting with immediate provisionalization. Mitigating risk of buccal socket wall perforation with need for additional grafting and associated costs and morbidity. The ability to use standard prosthetic components reducing complexity, cost, and inventory needs. In combination with body-shift macro design, adequate primary stability for IIP and/or immediate provisionalization.
