One stage/two stage dental implants?

Question

In a general since when is one stage an option? Is it only lower front teeth or can you do it with molars? If you can what reasons other than no bone loss do you have to know if you can do a molar in one stage. (I assume never upper molar or upper at all due to the spongy field)

The basic implant stages are the same in every zone of the mouth, can go from 2 stages to almost 6 stages, everything will depend such as the quantity and quality of your bone (which is determined with a CBCT scan, also known as 3D xray), the stability of the implant when is placed, healing process, the health of your tissues surround the implant, etc. In a nutshell will get divide in bone or tissue grafts, implant placement and finally the abutment and crown stage.
I hope your question get solved.

Hello. If the quantity and quality of the existing jawbone is appropriate, the protocol of placing the implant as soon as the tooth is extracted, which we now call immediacy, is the most up-to-date practice in the world. The key point is an atraumatic extraction, in single stage implants.Scientific studies have shown that while implant placement at the same time as tooth extraction prevents bone destruction, bone loss will begin after a certain period of time in empty toothless sockets. In addition, the discomfort of 2-stage surgery due to the need for 2 separate procedures is another reason why this procedure is not preferred.
