Abstract
This case report describes a A23-year-old female patient with a congenitally
missing maxillary lateral incisor whose missing lateral incisor tooth was rehabilitated
using a dental implant which was restored with cemented e-max crown over gold
abutment. As the patient is a young female and the implant was in the aesthetic area,
placing immediate provisional restoration was the chosen method of restoration. The
case reported presented illustrates a therapeutic strategy consisting of implant
placement and immediate provisionalization. The treatment sequences were followed as
recommended in the dental protocol. First, A maxillary surgical stent was prepared for
the correct implant position, a submerged maxillary anterior single-tooth implant
placed according to a standard protocol 3.5mmx10mmTC Prima Implant in the area of
tooth 12. The implant’s shoulder was placed 2 mm apical to the cemento‐enamel
junction of the adjacent teeth. Thereafter immediate temporization was done in two
stages. First stage immediately after the implant placement then 3 months after. Lastly,
a consistent and suitable follow-up program was applied. Conclusion: When sensibly
selected and accomplished, our case report outcome indicates that this technique may
provide promising immediate results relative to the aesthetic, maintenance and stability
of the peri-implanted tissues as well as patients’ satisfaction, expectation and
functionality.
