# Evaluation of immediate and delayed placement of cylindrical and tapered dental implants

## TL;DR

This study compares immediate and delayed placement of cylindrical and tapered dental implants, finding that tapered implants perform better in delayed procedures.

## Contribution

The study evaluates clinical outcomes of implant designs and placement timing, emphasizing the benefits of tapered implants in delayed procedures.

## Key findings

- Tapered implants showed superior primary stability and less bone loss in delayed placement.
- Delayed implantation procedures resulted in a more favorable healing response than immediate placement.
- Proper selection and technique are crucial for successful outcomes with both implant types.

## Abstract

Clinical analysis was performed on both immediate and post-healing implant insertion of cylindrical and tapered dental implants.
Hence, 40 patients who required a single implant tooth in the mandibular posterior section were included in this study. Tapered implants
yielded the best clinical results, thanks to superior primary stability and minimized marginal bone loss, mainly when used in delayed
implantation procedures. The two different implant designs continue to yield successful treatment outcomes when healthcare professionals
apply appropriate selection processes and implement proper techniques. The healing response was more favorable in delayed placement
procedures compared to immediate placement.
