Abstract

Implant placement, followed by the extraction of a single tooth, is a common practice in implantology. Nevertheless, with the increase in the use of implants, the demand for satisfactory aesthetic results also increased. This case report demonstrated the aesthetic and functional resolution of the immediate implant and provisionalisation of an upper lateral incisor with an autogenous bone graft associated with a laterally positioned flap and a connective tissue graft. The present procedure, which is in the aesthetic zone, is made a challenge because of the marginal mucosal recession of tooth 22 and the periodontal tissue biotype. Sixty days after the surgery and provisional crown, the patient reported aesthetic satisfaction and excellent soft tissue healing in the dental implant region. It can be concluded that the aesthetic and functional resolution of this clinical case that success in replacing a tooth for implantation in the aesthetic zone requires perio-implantology planning and professional skill in tissue manipulation.
