Clinical Case Report

Replacement of an Upper Left Central Incisor with a Regular Neck Implant, Restored with a Ceramo-Metal Crown, Transocclusally Screw-Retained

Urs C Belser

In September 2004, a 38-year-old female patient, a nonsmoker, was referred to our clinic for the replacement of the missing left central maxillary incisor (tooth 21),which had been removed two months before the initial appointment due to a vertical root fracture. The dental patient history revealed that the tooth in question had supported a ceramo-metal crown for more than ten years before the root fracture occurred. Implant therapy (single-tooth replacement) was considered the first therapeutic choice, as the neighboring teeth did not require significant restoration. The patient was in good general health, and her medical history revealed no significant findings.

  • * 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.
