What is it about?
Thirty patients who required a single dental extraction were recruited. Teeth had to be uni or multirooted but no molars were included in the study. 15 patients had a periapical lesion and the other 15 had not. Fixtures were placed immediately after dental extraction and prosthetic loading occurred at 3 months. Soft and hard tissue parameters were collected at baseline, 12 and 24 months after surgery

Why is it important?
Dental implants placed in alveolar sites affected by periapical infection revealed a predictable outcome at 24 months
Perspectives
Writing this article gave us the opportunity to push the limit of implant osseointegration. We succeded to have dental implants in sites that were relatively contraindicated
