Introduction: Loss of teeth leads to resorption of the alveolar bone. Dental implants are usually placed a few months after dental extraction, but recently dentists are opting for immediate implants which show the potential of alveolar ridge preservation The aim of the work: This literature review is aimed to find the benefits of the immediate implant in alveolar ridge preservation Methodology: We conducted this literature review using a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE from January 1989 to March 2017. The following search terms were used: Immediate implant, alveolar ridge preservation, esthetic implant Conclusion: Despite most implants are placed several months after dental extraction; recently there has been an increasing trend of using immediate implants. They have proved to preserve the alveolar bone and thus are increasingly used in anterior esthetic zones of the oral cavity. Keywords: Immediate implant, alveolar bone, alveolar ridge resorption.
