Clinical Case Report

Replacement of a Failing Upper Right Central Incisor, Ridge Preservation and Late Placement of a NC Bone Level Implant

Waldemar Daudt Polido, Paulo Eduardo Pittas do Canto

A 30-year-old patient presented at our clinic with a chief complaint of pain in her endodontically treated right maxillary central incisor (tooth 11) with a post-and-core and a fixed single crown. She had a very high lip line, a medium to thin soft-tissue phenotype, and a medium scalloped gingival contour. She also had high esthetic expectations because of her young age and beautiful smile. However, her expectations were realistic and she understood the risks of the treatment. At the initial clinical examination there was a slight mobility of tooth 11; no fistula was observed. The patient also had a single crown on the adjacent tooth 21. Both restorations were old and esthetically deficient. A digital periapical radiograph showed a very small periapical radiolucency, a thick intraradicular post, and no separation between root fragments.

  • * 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.
