A major challenge encountered while undertaking immediate implantation in the molar area is the complexity of obtaining primary wound closure and coverage of the extraction site. This case report describes an innovative approach based on a chairside fabrication of a suitable intra-operatively prepared healing device after immediate implant placement.

The Sealing Socket Abutment (SSA) technique aims to “seal” the socket without invasive techniques such as flaps, incisions and sutures. As there is no attempt at a primary closure procedure, the mucogingival junction is not displaced and the papilla architecture is maintained in its original anatomical position. Consequently, post-operative discomfort is expected to be very low.
