Abstract
|
|
|
|
Immediate implant placement is one of the treatment options in postextraction sites in anterior region. This article describes the high esthetic value of a single-tooth implant immediately placed in the anterior maxilla using a flapless approach and modifying a provisional restoration. The case reported illustrates the practical procedure involved in developing natural esthetics with modifying a provisional restoration. The technique provides an accurate impression of the soft tissue through the intraoral use of provisional restoration. The final restoration uses a custom-made titanium abutment and porcelain fused gold crown. The technique is relatively simple and provides excellent results from an esthetic point of view, which is demonstrated by the results of pink esthetic scores and white esthetic scores after 1 year.
