Severely decayed & impacted teeth extracted & immediate implants placed

A 32-year-old man came to our dental clinic with a complaint of severe pain in his lower left back teeth. A digital X-ray taken revealed a severely decayed mandibular left second molar & a horizontally impacted third molar (wisdom tooth). The mandibular first molar was missing.

Maxillofacial surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji extracted the impacted & decayed teeth and placed immediate implants into the jaw bone in the missing teeth region. Following complete osseointegration of the implants with the jaw bone, ceramic prosthesis will be given. The patient was happy to get rid of his diseased teeth & have a fixed replacement.

Impacted left lower wisdom tooth was surgically removed without much damage to the adjacent structures

Immediately after extraction implants were fixed in the missing tooth and in the extraction socket region with good stability and retention
