AB  - AIM: To compare the immediate restoration of single implants in the esthetic 
      zones performed on implants placed immediately after tooth extraction or 8 weeks 
      later (immediate replacement vs. immediate restoration). METHODS: Sixteen 
      patients (10 women and 6 men) with a mean age of 35 years (ranging from 21 to 49 
      years old) were treated from 2004 to 2005 for single-tooth replacement in the 
      upper arch. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: in the test group 
      patients received implants placed and restored (non-occlusal loading) at the time 
      of tooth extraction; in the control group implants were placed 8 weeks after 
      tooth extraction and immediately restored. All the patients received tapered 
      effect (TE) implants from the Straumann Dental Implant System. The following 
      parameters were evaluated at the moment of provisional restoration (within 48 h 
      after implant placement) and at the 2 years follow-up visit: marginal bone 
      resorption, papilla index, position of the mucosal margin. The implant stability 
      quotient was measured at the moment of implant placement and at the moment of the 
      delivery of the definitive restoration. RESULTS: No statistically significant 
      differences were found in any of the studied parameters between the test and the 
      control groups (P>0.05). The implant stability quotient values between the test 
      and control groups were significant (P<0.05) at the moment of implant placement 
      but were no more significant at the loading of the definitive restoration 
      (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of the present study suggest that immediate 
      replacement without functional loading may be considered a valuable therapeutic 
      option for selected cases of single-tooth replacement in the esthetic area when 
      TE implants are used. Implant stability at the moment of implant placement is 
      slightly inferior in the immediate replacement group, but it does not affect the 
      treatment result.
