Replacement of a hopeless maxillary central incisor: a technique for the fabrication of an immediate implant-supported interim restoration

Quintessence Int. 2012 Apr;43(4):273-7.

Abstract

Placement of a dental implant and an interim restoration in the esthetic zone immediately following tooth extraction is now a common procedure. However, in such clinical situations, the fabrication of an appropriate interim restoration may be challenging. The aim of this article is to present a technique for modifying the extracted tooth so it can be used as an implant-supported interim restoration.
