Single Unit Implant Placement in the Non Esthetic Zone - a Systematic Approach
A 25 year old boy presented with the chief complaint of hislower left back tooth missing. Examination revealed healthy dentition with missing lower left second premolar. A panoramic radiograph and CBCT scan using a Kodak 90003D machine was performed to assess the amount of bone. Adequate alveolar width of 7 mm and alveolar height of 14.2 mmwas measured on the scan. A surgical stent was used and a3.75 x 11.5mm ADIN Spiral Tapered Implant was placed.Cover screw was simultaneously placed on the implant and it was submerged.This was followed by placement of sutures for primary closure with suture removal 14 days post op. Good oral hygiene was advised with frequent checkups and oral prophylaxis. After a healing period of 3 months, second stage surgery was performed and a healing collar was attached to the implant. After 14 days indirect open tray fixture level impressions were made. 2 mm collared abutment was customized on the cast. The abutment was then gently screwed and torqued in the implant and then a PFM crown was luted. We were able to achieve good esthetics witha satisfied patient.
