Clinical Case Report

Immediate Flapless Placement of an Implant in a Maxillary Right Lateral Incisor Site

Robert Nieberler

This 43-year-old male patient, a non-smoker, came to our practice because of a fracture of tooth 12 caused by a bicycle accident. Due to the combined para- and infrabony crown and root fracture, tooth extraction, and subsequent implant placement were suggested to the patient as the therapy of choice. The patient had high esthetic expectations with regard to the treatment outcome and asked for an immediate fixed provisional restoration. His individual esthetic risk profile summed up to a medium esthetic risk.

  • * General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

  • ** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
