Objective:
To investigate the effects of the related factors on the aesthetic implant restoration of anterior maxilla with a typical case report.
Methods :
A patient, who was failed with metal-ceramic bridge half year, required an implant restoration. Before treatment, a thorough clinical and radiological examination and a SAC classification were done. The teeth were extracted in mininal truama without flap reflection, and implants were inserted with delayed restoration. A provisional restoration supported by temporary abutment was placed to guide the development of the soft tissues. Then the final impression with the custom-made transcopings was made. And a screwretention metal-resin bridge was made with CAD/CAM titanium framework.
Results:
During follow-up the dental implants and provisional restoration provided the patient with good esthetics, pronunciation and chewing function.
