Abstract
The present article is focused on making a literature review in the aspect of immediate dental implants viability in infected sites, directing its applicability in implant therapy. Studies and researchers lately have been showing that the adoption of a infected alveolar bone protocol still shows doubts in the survival rates of the procedure or higher risks, which could generate viable alternatives of treatment for those conditions. It is important to say that the decision of putting immediate dental implants in contaminated sites should take in consideration the gravity of the infection. Besides that, the choice of materials, surgical techniques and antibiotic therapy are fundamental for the success of the procedure. In this context, it is possible to verify that the immediate putting of the dental implant in infected sites or even alveolar bone with vestibular bone loss depend on the rate of bone loss and deficiency, such as the relation of the infection resulting in obtaining possible treatment from the observantion of protocoles which should be followed for the success of the dental implant therapy in infected sites.
