Summary

The benefits and risks of immediate implant placement have been widely discussed in recent years. The presence of bone defects in the vestibular cortex is a frequent clinical condition and one of the key factors for achieving good peri-implant aesthetics. The purpose of this article is to clinically and radiographically illustrate the clinical case of an immediate implant in an alveolus that presents an extensive defect of the vestibular cortical and to describe the surgical technique for bone reconstruction of the alveolus using biomaterials and immediate temporisation.
