In this special Straumann ProTalk Clinical episode from the International Aesthetic Days in Portugal, Dr. Algirdas Puisys explains how he defines success in posterior immediate implants - targeting a 30° emergence profile and treating 45° as a critical limit.

He shares his "aha" moment that immediate implant risk depends more on technique than timing, reflects on early mistakes with oversized implants, and discusses today's priorities: digital workflows, soft-tissue-first thinking, and conservative peri-implantitis management.
