Postextraction Implant Placement with Immediate Provisionalisation and Finalisation, Using a Simplified Technique: Technical Notes and a Case Report

摘要

Trauma of maxillary teeth is a common accident. In most cases, the result is a root or crown fracture requiringtooth extraction and implant placement. Immediate postextraction implants are considered an effective option for restoringmissing teeth in order to achieve successful aesthetic and functional outcomes. The aim of this article is to describe aclinical case in which a fractured maxillary canine was replaced by an osseointegrated implant using a simplified techniquein a patient who was a smoker and presented poor oral hygiene. The technique adopted permits a reduction of thenumber of implant components and consequently a lower cost of treatment, while at the same time maintaining acceptableaesthetic and functional outcomes.
