Immediate Implants in Maxillary Premolar Region Using Xenograft vs Allograft

Immediate implant placement has the disadvantage of difficulty in obtaining primary stability, lack of adequate soft tissue coverage and also the control of the implant position is difficult in addition to the cost of the graft. Autogenous bone graft is considered to be the golden standard for grafting as it has osteoconductive , osteoinductive and osteogenic functions , however it has the problems of donor site morbidity , the need for two surgeries as well as post operative swelling and discomfort of the patient , so alternative bone grafts as allografts and xenografts, has been introduced.
