Abstract

This paper presents a case study for replacing a single maxillary central incisor with a single implant, in conjunction with grafting lost hard and soft tissue. Using staged protocols, the maturity and stability of the implant was ensured prior to finalizing the case. In this respect, it was originally planned that a minimum healing period of nine months would be observed, but in fact the patient did not return for one year.
