  • Title: Immediate placement and provisionalization of maxillary anterior single implants: a surgical and prosthodontic rationale.
    Author: Kan JY, Rungcharassaeng K.
    Journal: Pract Periodontics Aesthet Dent; 2000; 12(9):817-24; quiz 826. PubMed ID: 11405020.
    Abstract:
    Maintaining the existing gingival architecture of a failing maxillary anterior tooth is essential in achieving an optimal aesthetic result. Immediate implant placement has been advocated to minimize tissue loss following extraction. The incorporation of a customized temporary abutment and immediate fixed provisionalization facilitates maintenance of the gingival architecture for optimal aesthetics and eliminates the need for a removable provisional prosthesis during the healing phase. This article describes the surgical and prosthodontic approach of this procedure as well as its clinical rationale.
