| Abstrakt: | The study aims to present 11 immediately placed implants in posterior extraction sockets applying the dual-zone therapeutic concept. Five patients with non-restorable molars or premolars were treated with single or multiple immediate implants after atraumatic tooth extraction using a piezotome. The dual-zone therapeutic concept included grafting the jumping gap adjacent to the implant up to the gingival margin with a bovine xenograft. A screw-retained customized healing abutment was used to allow healing, and the implant loading was delayed for four to six months. All the patients were followed up for three years. Surgical complications, implant or prosthesis loss, and peri-implant marginal tissue health were assessed annually. No surgical complications or implant loss were observed during the follow-up visits. Peri-implant marginal tissue health showed excellent results with minimal marginal bone loss. Bone gain was evident in some cases. Using the dual-zone therapeutic concept with immediate implant placement in posterior extraction sockets showed promising results over three years.
