Esthetic Rehabilitation of a Young Patient With Immediately Loaded Single-Piece Basal Implants Following a Trauma Involving the Anterior Maxilla: Case Report With Five-Year Follow-Up.

Traumatic injuries to the anterior maxilla usually lead to loss of teeth by means of avulsion or extraction due to fracture. Rehabilitation of such a clinical scenario is complex as it involves various anatomic and esthetic challenges. Single-piece basal implants have been widely used in the rehabilitation of resorbed ridges because they gain adequate anchorage from the basal cortical bone, allowing immediate temporization or loading. However, the use of basal implants in the anterior esthetic zone is not much documented. This case report with a five-year follow-up period describes the rehabilitation of lost teeth in the anterior esthetic zone of the anterior maxilla caused due to trauma following a train accident using single-piece axial basal implants with immediate temporization.
