Abstract: Oral rehabilitation in dentistry, particularly implantology, offers significant advantages over removable prostheses. As a result, dental implants have become increasingly sought after by patients due to their high success rates in both aesthetic and functional aspects. One of the main challenges in implantology is the placement of implants in esthetic zones. However, the integration of digital dentistry with implantology has further increased the success rates. Moreover, immediate implant placement following tooth extraction has demonstrated higher osseointegration success, contributing to effective primary stability. This study aims to present a clinical case report utilizing the immediate post-extraction implant technique with a 3D-printed implant for the rehabilitation of tooth #12, along with the need for a connective tissue graft. To support the discussion on extraction and immediate implant placement, a literature review was conducted using articles published in the last four years in English and Portuguese from databases such as PubMed, Scielo, and Google Scholar. As a final consideration, the patient reported no functional or aesthetic complaints, and the rehabilitation outcome was deemed successful.
