Advanced surgical and prosthetic management of the anterior single tooth osseointegrated implant: a case presentation.

Abstract

The functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of a single missing anterior tooth presents a surgical and prosthetic challenge. This article describes reconstructive and restorative techniques applied to the rehabilitation of such a case, using an osseointegrated implant, guided bone regeneration, mucogingival preprosthetic plastic surgery, and an all-ceramic restoration. The learning objective of this article is to enhance the knowledge of single-tooth implant restorative approaches and procedures.
