Abstract:

It has been shown that anterior implant placement after extraction has a beneficial aesthetic response by preserving the tissue and bony architecture. Several articles have shown that aesthetic gingival results can occur by using customized immediate provisional to capture the extraction sockets after placement of the implant. The use of prefabricated and customized provisional abutments have been successful in this process. This presentation will demonstrate the same techniques; however the pre-operative intra-oral scan of the clinical tooth and gingival architecture and the CBCT scan of the bone and root anatomy will be sued to fabricate the customized provisional. This technique will show that the information gathered with these digital files can be used to capture and preserve the soft tissue architecture following extraction. The root-form/tooth form provisional will mimic the exact dimensions of the tooth before extraction and then replicate the anatomy to best preserve the tissues and bony architecture. Utilizing the concept of dualzone therapeutic concept, the anatomical root configuration in the bony-implant zone can be replicated with the digitally designed immediate provisional.
