Minimal guided bone regeneration procedure for immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization of maxillary lateral incisor: A case report

Immediate implant placement has advantages such as time saving, optimal soft tissue architecture preservation and patient acceptance. In this case prior to implant placement, minimal guided bone regeneration was performed to augment the concavity on the apico-labial aspect of fractured maxillary right lateral incisor. After 8 months this tooth was extracted and an implant immediately inserted and provisional composite based crown was delivered in the same appointment. After 4 months well molded mid-facial gingiva and inter-proximal papilla were obtained and definitive metal ceramic crown was fabricated.
