What is it about?
Objective: Immediate implant placement into a molar extraction socket may hasten return to masticatory function and reduce overall treatment time. Placement of a graft or biomaterial in the peri-implant gap defect (PGD) has been associated with superior treatment outcomes.

Why is it important?
Whether infrared lasers enhance healing at immediate implant sites remains an open question in implantology. However, the presented cases demonstrate that a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser can reliably stabilize particulate bone allografts in PGDs at immediate implant sites exhibiting large horizontal defect dimensions.
