This is what I call the emergency implant. Can be used in most cases in tooth protected sites from tooth #4 - #13. I always prefer a screw retained temporary as it eliminates potential cement overflow, but additionally is my check for an ideally placed implant. ALWAYS leave the temps out of occlusion and the implant needs to be primarily stabilized at time of placement to attempt this, although I don't think it is hard to achieve either of those two things. I have not had a failure utilizing this technique out of about 70 or so cases. Just in case people are wondering this site was grafted with a dynamatrix bone putty, however no membrane was used.
