Is there an advantage to delayed molar implant placement in those with chronic apical periodontitis?

The conclusion of this study suggests that immediate implant placement in chronic periodontitis patients, specifically in the molar region, may be clinically viable. With flap surgery and complete removal of inflammatory granulation tissue, the study suggests no significant disadvantage to alveolar bone healing or osseointegration. The various limiting factors of this study should be taken into consideration, and it must be highlighted that longer and larger studies are necessary to allow for more accurate understanding of the long-term outcomes.
