Case 2-5 10 — Final screw-retained implant crown, 3 years later.

1 of 10

Which tooth is the implant?

Though not obvious on the x-ray, this patient has fractured his upper right 1st premolar. Treatment plan: Extract tooth, place implant, fabricate an immediate, screw retained, temporary implant crown. Patient will never need to wear a removable partial or go without a tooth.

Tooth extracted, first guide pin with x-ray. Guide pins used with x-rays assure the dentist that the implant position is correct before additional drilling is completed.
