ABSTRACT

Introduction: Currently, the submerged root technique for implant placement is poorly described in the literature, however great clinical benefit has been found for the increase of keratinized gingiva. Case report: A 61-year-old male patient diagnosed with moderate generalized chronic periodontitis and dental caries in piece 3.7 compromising its restoration, whereby a dental implant was placed using the submerged root technique and the placement of the healing screw immediately avoiding stage II of healing, for which a satisfactory gingival result was obtained and without evidence of bone loss at three months. Conclusion: Today there are multiple alternatives for the placement of unitary dental implants, however there are few reports about implant placement using the submerged root technique, which managed to increase the amount of keratinized gum and obtain a primary closure during the surgical act.
