Immediate implant placement and restoration in the maxillary central incisor: A clinical report

Abstract

The maxillary anterior region is said to be the “esthetic zone” because of its influence on facial appearance and high visibility. It is well known that occurring horizontal and vertical absorption of alveolar bone after tooth extraction. A predictable esthetic result is considered a challenge when an extracted tooth must be replaced by an implant in the esthetic zone. The advantage of immediate implant placement and restoration prevent the absorption of alveolar bone, use of the healing and bone regeneration capacity, reduce the number of surgical intervention, reduce the number of dental visits, reduce the time between extraction and final prosthetic restoration and increased patient acceptance. In a 54-year-old man who showed root fracture of upper right central incisor, immediate placement and immediate temporization were planned after atraumatic extraction of fractured tooth. After healing phase, a definitive zirconia abutment and veneered zirconia crown was connected to that implant fixture.
