Nicolás Solano, Paulina Gutiérrez, Dalmiro Ortega and Salomon Ramos
Article Type: Case Report | First Published: May 09, 2020
Depending on the time that has elapsed since extraction, the placement of one or more implants in the maxilla or mandible will be determined directly by the clinical and radiographic characteristics of the implant bed. In the case of multirooted teeth, placing an implant immediately after extraction is more complex due to the anatomical sites involved. In the literature, there are very few studies reporting the use of 3D printed surgical guides for the placement of immediate post-extraction sing...
