Due to a trauma in the past, the right central incisor is lost because of external resorption. The left central incisor and the lateral had also had root canal treatments. Beatrice complains about the discoloration or her teeth.

Note the defect of the right central incisor. It is important to act before the resorption takes away more bone.

With a special tool (Benex extractor) it is possible to extract the root atraumatically. Only if the socket is intact we can immediately implant. If the bone is compromised it’s better to delay the implantation.

After the successful extraction of the tooth, the zirconia implant is placed with high torque (45 Ncm). If that torque level is reached, the glass fiber abutment and temporary crown can be placed immediately. The patient is happy if she can leave the office with an aesthetic solution.

After two weeks the tissues look healthy and the patient didn’t have a lot of swelling or pain after the surgery. It is important to be very careful with the temporary situation because the implant still has to osseointegrate (grow into the bone).

Ideal aesthetics and the colour of the tissues are perfect. Full integration of the porcelain crowns. And very natural looking teeth.
