Abstract

Abstract: To investigate the clinical effect of immediate implant placement and immediate restoration after minimally invasive extraction of single tooth root fracture with thin gingival biotype in the maxillary esthetic zone, a restoration-oriented implant scheme was designed for a patient with thin gingival biotype in the maxillary esthetic zone before operation. This study did the immediate implant surgery with bone augmentation in a minimally invasive way using a bone level implant. The temporary restoration was restored immediately, and the final permanent restoration was formed 11 months later. After a 36-month follow-up, the synosteosis was well-formed and the marginal bone was stable after loading. The gingival margin was consistent with the same level as that of the contralateral natural tooth, the periprosthetic soft tissue obtained healthy pink esthetics and proper white esthetics, and the patient's satisfaction was high. Therefore, an immediate implant restoration can maintain the stability of soft and hard tissue in a short time, and meet both functional and esthetic demands of patients with single tooth loss and thin gingival biotype in the esthetic zone.
