Front Tooth Implant After Trauma and Tooth Loss
Chief Complaint & Initial Presentation
After losing upper front teeth in an injury around four years earlier, this patient had been using a removable partial denture. The patient wanted a fixed replacement to improve smile appearance and confidence when biting, speaking and interacting socially.
Clinical Methodology & Biomechanical Approach
Previous trauma had left a bone deficiency in a highly visible area of the smile. Implant positioning, the gum contour and the appearance of the final tooth needed careful attention alongside support for the implant. The documented treatment involved placement of an implant at the upper right central incisor site, together with bone grafting. A temporary tooth held with a clear Essix retainer was provided during healing. After approximately three months and satisfactory integration, the team assessed shade and appearance before delivering the final implant-supported restoration.
Clinical Outcome & Long-Term Stability
The final implant-supported restoration was delivered after satisfactory healing and an assessment of its shade and appearance. The patient entered the maintenance phase with instructions on implant cleaning and regular review. The documented implant treatment was at one upper central incisor site.
After an injury had caused front-tooth loss, this patient wanted an alternative to a removable partial denture. The front tooth implant after trauma required attention to deficient bone, the position of the implant and the appearance of the final tooth.
