Clinical Case Report

Replacement of an Upper Right Central Incisor with Root Resorption: Ridge Preservation, Early Placement of an RC Bone Level Implant

Stephen T Chen

A 49-year-old female patient was referred for implant therapy to replace the upper right central incisor (tooth 11). The tooth had been assessed by an endodontist who diagnosed a vertical fracture of the root. The tooth had a hopeless prognosis and needed to be extracted. The patient was healthy and was not taking any medications. She was allergic to penicillin. The patient had high esthetic demands but her expectations were realistic. The extraoral examination revealed no facial asymmetries. The right temporomandibular joint demonstrated an opening click but was otherwise asymptomatic. The lip line was high with a significant gingival display.

* General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.
** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
