“Immediate Implant, is it really possible?” — A simplified, practical solution for immediate implantology
The third volume in Dr. Young-Sam Kim’s renowned implant series
28 tooth-specific protocols, distilled from 25 years of global clinical experience
Simple Immediate Implant by Dr. Young-Sam Kim brings together his essential expertise on immediate implant placement in a highly practical clinical reference. Drawing on extensive clinical practice and international lecturing, the author presents his philosophy and techniques in a structured, accessible format.
What sets this book apart is its meticulous organization of immediate implant protocols for all 28 teeth, from the mandibular first premolars to the maxillary canines. Richly illustrated with panoramic X-rays, PA views, CBCT scans, and clinical photographs, it provides clear, systematic commentary that makes it a ready-to-use reference for daily practice. Beyond theory, the book includes long-term clinical data, site-specific insights, real cases from international live surgery seminars, and candid reflections on the author’s own failed cases—making it a practical, experience-driven guide for clinical application.
Guided by his implant philosophy of ESSE (Easy, Simple, Safe, Efficient), Dr. Kim presents each case with clarity and honesty. Staying true to the concept of “Dr. Kim’s Clinical Notes,” the book captures not only surgical highlights but also concerns, regrets, and behind-the-scenes details, immersing readers in authentic clinical decision-making. With time-sequenced clinical photography, diverse patient cases, and instructive illustrations, it offers more than knowledge—it conveys the rhythm of real clinical practice.
This work is both a specialized reference and a distinctive clinical record, consolidating two decades of practice and teaching by a globally renowned author. It is an essential clinical guide—valuable both for novice clinicians exploring immediate placement and for seasoned implantologists managing complex cases.
