Immediate implant placement was introduced as a possible means to limit bone resorption and reduce the number of surgical procedures following tooth extraction. Histological and clinical evidence from human clinical studies showing efficacy of immediate implants has come to light over the last decade or so. However, immediate implant placement is a challenging surgical procedure and requires proper case selection and surgical technique. Furthermore, there appears to be a lack of clinical guidelines for immediate implant placement case selection. Therefore, the aim of this mini-review is to analyze critical evidence from human studies in order to establish clinical guidelines which may help clinicians in case selection when considering immediate implant placement protocol.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/dj4020021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,13]],"date-time":"2016-06-13T10:29:22Z","timestamp":1465813762000},"page":"21","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Immediate Implants: Clinical Guidelines for Esthetic Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Javaid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of periodontics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7998-7335","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zohaib","family":"Khurshid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dental Biomaterials, College of Dentistry, King Faisal University, P.O.
