,Q1 CRITICALLY EVALUATE PATIENT CANDIDACY FOR IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT
USING EVIDENCE-BASED CRITERIA
Which combination of factors most strongly contraindicates immediate implant
placement in a fresh extraction socket?
A. Thick gingival biotype and intact buccal plate
B. Presence of an acute periapical abscess with purulent drainage
C. Thin gingival biotype and a dehiscence defect of the buccal bone CORRECT
D. Adequate apical bone beyond the socket apex
RATIONALE: Immediate implant placement is contraindicated when there is a thin gingival
biotype combined with a buccal bone dehiscence, as this significantly increases the risk of
mucosal recession and esthetic failure. Acute infection (B) is a relative contraindication that can
be managed with careful debridement. Thick biotype with intact bone (A) and adequate apical
bone (D) are favorable conditions.
Q2 CRITICALLY EVALUATE PATIENT CANDIDACY FOR IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT
USING EVIDENCE-BASED CRITERIA
A 2-mm gap remains between an immediately placed implant and the buccal bone
plate. Which grafting material and technique best promote guided bone
regeneration while minimizing resorption?
A. Particulate autograft covered with a non-resorbable membrane
B. Deproteinized bovine bone mineral covered with a collagen membrane CORRECT
C. Allograft alone without a membrane
D. Platelet-rich fibrin alone without additional graft
RATIONALE: Deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) combined with a collagen membrane is
well-documented for maintaining the buccal contour and promoting bone fill in gaps 2-3 mm, with
low resorption rates. Autograft (A) resorbs unpredictably; allograft without membrane (C) allows
soft tissue invasion; PRF alone (D) lacks osteoconductive scaffold.

,Q3 CRITICALLY EVALUATE PATIENT CANDIDACY FOR IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT
USING EVIDENCE-BASED CRITERIA
When planning an immediate implant in the maxillary premolar region, which
factor most critically determines the initial stability required for immediate
provisionalization?
A. The implant's macrogeometry and thread design
B. The insertion torque value and implant stability quotient (ISQ) CORRECT
C. The patient's age and systemic health
D. The type of abutment selected
RATIONALE: Immediate provisionalization requires primary stability, typically defined by insertion
torque 35 Ncm and ISQ 65. These mechanical measures directly reflect the bone-implant
interface's ability to withstand functional forces. While implant design (A) influences stability, the
measured torque and ISQ are the definitive criteria. Age/health (C) and abutment choice (D) are
secondary considerations.
Q4 CRITICALLY EVALUATE PATIENT CANDIDACY FOR IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT
USING EVIDENCE-BASED CRITERIA
In the context of immediate implant placement, which statement best
distinguishes a 'jumping distance' from a 'horizontal defect'?
A. Jumping distance refers to the vertical gap between implant shoulder and bone crest, while
horizontal defect is the buccal-lingual gap.
B. Jumping distance is the gap between the implant and the socket wall, while horizontal defect
indicates a missing buccal plate. CORRECT
C. Jumping distance is measured after healing, while horizontal defect is measured at
placement.
D. Jumping distance is always 2 mm, while horizontal defect is always >2 mm.
RATIONALE: The jumping distance is the circumferential gap between the implant surface and
the socket wall, typically 2 mm and expected to fill spontaneously. A horizontal defect implies a
deficiency of the buccal bone plate, which requires guided bone regeneration. The other options
mischaracterize the terms.

, Q5 CRITICALLY EVALUATE PATIENT CANDIDACY FOR IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT
USING EVIDENCE-BASED CRITERIA
Which of the following best describes the role of the interim (healing) abutment in
immediate implant placement?
A. It provides a scaffold for soft tissue contouring and maintains the emergence profile.
CORRECT
B. It is used only for final restoration and not during healing.
C. It protects the implant from overload during osseointegration.
D. It prevents bacterial contamination of the implant-abutment interface.
RATIONALE: The interim abutment supports the peri-implant soft tissue, guiding the formation of
a natural emergence profile during healing. It is not the final restoration (B), does not primarily
protect from overload (C), and while it may help seal the interface, that is not its primary role (D).
Q6 CRITICALLY EVALUATE PATIENT CANDIDACY FOR IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT
USING EVIDENCE-BASED CRITERIA
For an immediate implant placed in the anterior maxilla, which surgical protocol
most effectively preserves the buccal bone plate?
A. Flap elevation to visualize the buccal plate
B. Flapless technique with a circular punch CORRECT
C. Use of a piezoelectric device for extraction
D. Immediate placement without any socket grafting
RATIONALE: A flapless approach preserves the periosteal blood supply to the buccal plate,
minimizing resorption. Flap elevation (A) disrupts vascularity and increases bone loss.
Piezoelectric extraction (C) is atraumatic but does not solely preserve the plate if a flap is raised.
Grafting (D) may be needed but is not a surgical preservation technique.
