Core Tip

Core Tip: In spite of the high-risk of immediate implantation in infected areas, there is a unique advantage. In this case report, the process of tooth extraction, implant placement and platelet-rich fibrin have been combined in one appointment, which significantly shortened the course of treatment the patient required. Furthermore, the existence of the platelet-rich fibrin was adopted to alleviate the inflammatory reaction and promote tissue recovery.
