Aesthetic Clinical Case for Immediate Implant Therapy for Maxillary Central Incisor.

This case report features a female patient with the chief complaint of needing to replace an anterior crown. After a comprehensive oral assessment and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiographic examination, it was determined that the crown on Tooth #9 was subgingivally fractured. The procedure involved atraumatic extraction of Tooth #9, followed by immediate implant placement. Xenograft bone graft material was placed to complete the space between the buccal bone and the implant. A connective tissue graft (CTG), 1 mm thick and 5 mm wide, was harvested from the palate and placed. The final implant crown was restored using a prefabricated abutment with a titanium base and zirconia ceramic dental material. A well-planned combined treatment, including atraumatic tooth extractions for immediate implants and ideal contouring of soft tissues, can significantly impact the outcome of aesthetic restorations. A single immediate implant-supported crown in the aesthetic zone was able to fulfill the patient's aesthetic expectations at the 2-year follow-up.
