Background. The immediate placement of a dental implant could represent an option treatment for the rehabilitation of a\npostextractive missing tooth socket to replace compromised or untreatable teeth, with the advantage of single-session surgery. In\nthis way, the anatomy of the alveolar bone defect, the preservation of the buccal cortical bone, and the primary stability of the\nfixture represent the critical factors that consent a precise implant placement. Objective. This case report describes a novel\nfixture design for postextractive alveolar socket immediate implant. Methods. Two patients (25 and 31 years old) were treated\nfor postextractive dental implant placement to replace both central upper incisor teeth with four implants. The residual bone\nimplant gap was not filled with graft or bone substitute. The restoration was provided following a standard loading protocol by\na cement-sealed prosthetic abutment. Results. Clinically, all implants positioned showed an excellent insertion torque. No\npostoperative complications were reported. At 6 months of healing, the buccal cortical bone and the implant stability were\npresent and well maintained. Conclusion. The evidence of this study allows us to underline the possible advantages of this new\nfixture design for postextractive implant technique.
