Abstract: Aim & Objective: To evaluate the predictability of immediate implant placement in post - extraction cases, particularly in minimizing post - extraction and implant - related bone resorption while optimizing esthetic and functional outcomes. Methodology: Three cases were examined, each with at least six months of follow - up after implant placement. The focus of the study was on the following outcomes: 1) Implant integration 2) Aesthetic and functional results. Results: Immediate bone augmentation proved to be effective, but it was noticed that cases with thin tissue types, implant misalignment, or buccal bone defects still showed some recession in the buccal gingiva. All patients kept up with good oral hygiene, and both soft tissue stability and implant integration stayed consistent at the six - month mark. Conclusion: Immediate implant placement can lead to greater comfort, quicker healing, and better maintenance of gum structure for improved aesthetic results. Nonetheless, the long - term success of this approach relies on careful selection of cases, thorough planning, skilled surgical techniques, and proper post - operative care. When executed following the right protocols, it remains a dependable and predictable option for replacing missing teeth.
