IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT IN AESTHET IC ZONE FIVE YEAR FOLLOW-UP: A CASE REPOR

Abstract

The application of dental implants for the restoration of anterior missing teeth has been performed and recorded in recent years. However, the utilization of implants in the anterior zone is a responsive method in terms of technique. Even though the long term survival rates of implants are very high in that zone, a large number of implant supported restorations may not meet esthetic expectations. Provisional restorations are important phases in anterior maxillary implants, which allow the guided soft tissue management and develop esthetic emergence profiles. The replacement of missing anterior tooth and the maintenance of surrounding soft tissue through the adequate surgical and prosthetic methods pose real challenges for the clinician. The aim of this report is to present the surgical and prosthetic stages in the restoration of anterior maxillary teeth
