Male patient, 45 years old.
Main complaint
Compromised periodontal and tooth 21 mobility along with the need for aesthetic rehabilitation.
Initial assessment
Patient sought treatment at clinic W, complaining of mobility in tooth 21. After anamnesis and intra- and extra-oral clinical examinations, two- and three-dimensional imaging tests were requested to evaluate the support structures of the maxillary anterior teeth. The need to extract tooth 21 and implant-supported oral rehabilitation were diagnosed.
Treatment performed
The treatment plan involved a major challenge, routine nowadays, which would be maintaining and/or recovering the pink aesthetic, focusing on the health, stability and longevity of the implant-supported rehabilitation to be performed.
Planning involved minimally traumatic extraction for the supporting tissues of tooth 21, immediate placement of an Arcsys implant in the region of tooth 21, customization of the Arcsys healing abutment so that it becomes a provisional prosthesis with immediate loading, personalizing in this way, the transmucosal space and emergence profile.
