Immediate Placement of Single Implants with Immediate Provisionalization in the Maxillary Aesthetic Region

Abstract

Aim: This case report with medium-term follow-up aims to report the successful results of ridge preservation using inorganic bovine bone mineral, simultaneously with the installation of a new implant available on the dental market, together with immediate provisionalization of an upper lateral incisor in the anterior aesthetic region of the maxilla. Case Report: A patient presented failures in the upper anterior teeth, during the procedure the dimension of the alveolar ridge was preserved using bovine bone graft, simultaneously the implant placement with a flap was performed, together with the immediate provisionalization of the implant. The definitive restorations were delivered 4 months after implant placement. Results: At 6-month follow-up after loading, prosthetic and implant success was demonstrated, with a favorable aesthetic result and high patient satisfaction. Conclusions: Immediate provisionalization in conjunction with ridge preservation combined with bone graft, simultaneously with implant placement with a flap with an immediate implant provisioning protocol, as proposed in this article, is something already well documented in the literature, in turn, being a viable approach to minimize reabsorption of the alveolar ridge, as well as optimizing aesthetic results.
