Implant-retained precision two-stage single-tooth replacement

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Implantology
• Periodontology

Background:

• Congenitally missing lateral incisors pose a significant restorative challenge, especially in young patients.
• Treatment requires a conservative and esthetic approach to maintain oral health and appearance.

Observation:

• This article details the rationale for utilizing an osseo-integrated implant.
• The implant serves as a stable foundation for a single-tooth restoration.

Findings:

• The osseo-integrated implant successfully supported a single-tooth restoration.
• The final restoration was both esthetic and functional.

Implications:

• Osseo-integrated implants provide a viable solution for anterior edentulous spaces caused by missing lateral incisors.
• This approach promotes excellent periodontal health and achieves a high degree of esthetics in young patients.
