The Foundations of Success in Immediate Implant Placement
Challenges of Immediate Implants Without Preventive Regeneration

Implants alone cannot maintain the ridge volume. Studies show that after one year, 22% of the ridge width and 1.7 mm of the ridge height are lost5

Two-thirds of resorption take place within the first 3 months2

Poor maintenance of healthy peri-implant tissues leads to poor esthetic outcomes3,14

There is a 10x greater need for hard tissue augmentation at implant placement without previous ridge augmentation4

What can I do to minimize bone volume resorption around my patient’s immediate implant?
Fill The Gap
Fill-the-gap in extraction sockets with
preserved buccal bone wall1
Fill-the-gap in extraction sockets with
defective buccal bone wall3
Seamless Solutions:
For the best clinical outcomes the choice is clear: Fill The Gap.
Geistlich products make this Simple and Effective.
- Filling the peri-implant gap with Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen and Geistlich Bio-Gide® preserved 92% of the original ridge width.5
- Filling the peri-implant gap with Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen resulted in better soft and bone tissue outcomes than immediate implants alone.⁶
- Geistlich biomaterials can largely compensate for bone loss and preserve the contour of the alveolar ridge.1,7,8
- Reduced number of surgeries per patient.5,10-13
- Preserves soft tissue volume, leading to an improved treatment outcome.⁹
