A BSTRACT Introduction: Traditional protocols, which involve delayed implant placement after staged extractions, can lead to progressive alveolar ridge resorption, compromised soft tissue contours, and prolonged edentulous phases, all of which negatively affect patient satisfaction and prosthetic outcomes. Recent advances in immediate implant placement and provisionalization protocols aim to mitigate these drawbacks by preserving hard and soft tissue structures and expediting functional recovery. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 45 patients undergoing full-arch rehabilitation. Immediate implants with interim prostheses were placed, and soft tissue and prosthetic parameters were monitored for 6 months. Results: A higher implant distribution number (IDN) was associated with better tissue support and functional outcomes. Conclusion: Immediate implant placement with provisional restoration is a reliable strategy for full-arch cases.
