RFA values and standardized radiographs were recorded at three time points from placement to prosthetic restoration.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Implants were placed in molar, premolar, and incisor sockets. All implants achieved insertion torque greater than 35 Ncm and high ISQ values. The median reported bone remodeling was 0.35 mm from implant placement to definitive restoration. RFA revealed a median of 64 ISQ buccolingually and 74 ISQ mesiodistally at placement, increasing to 76 ISQ buccolingually and 82 ISQ mesiodistally pre-prosthetically.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The findings suggest that immediate dental implants placed without osteotomies in select anatomical conditions can achieve successful osseointegration and functional stability. However, given the small sample size, further studies with larger cohorts are necessary to validate these results.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10203,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Dental Research","volume":"11 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cre2.70159","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
