Case Study: Dental Implant – Anterior
Robert M. Bentz, DMD, FACP East Norriton, Pennsylvania Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization of a Single Anterior Tooth The patient was a 47-year-old building contractor with crowns on both his central maxillary incisors. He experienced a traumatic injury that fractured the left crown at the gum line. As he had no other facial lacerations, he presented for dental treatment immediately after the accident. His medical and dental histories were otherwise unremarkable. The patient chose to have the tooth extracted, followed by immediate implant placement and temporization.

A traumatic injury fractured the patient’s crowned left central maxillary incisor at the gum line.	A radiograph of the damaged tooth showed that the tooth root was also fractured, with stress cracks traversing down along it.

Immediately after extraction of the incisor, a NobelReplace Select Tapered Groovy Implant was placed and tightened to at least 45 Ncm, exhibiting excellent primary stability.	NobelProcera zirconia abutment and all-ceramic crown, 1 month after placement. Excellent healing of the soft tissue around the abutment demonstrated the biocompatibility of the zirconia.

Case Study: Dental Implant – Posterior
Peter K. Moy, DMD Los Angeles, CaliforniaBaldwin W. Marchack, DDS, MBA, FAGD, FICD, FACD Pasadena, California NobelReplace, Snappy Abutment, and NobelProcera Crown Zirconia in the Posterior A 60-year-old man presented with a 10-mm pocket on the distal aspect of his left mandibular molar. A nonsmoker, he had no positive medical history relevant to his dental treatment. Clinical examination along with radiographic evaluation confirmed that the root canal filling had failed, and the tooth had fractured. The patient elected for implant treatment, to be delivered in a staged approach, with immediate temporization.

Presurgical radiograph. A surgical template was created to guide the placement of a NobelReplace implant. A transmucosal healing abutment was placed immediately. A	Removal of the healing abutment revealed 2 mm of tissue above the implant with a flat tissue architecture, which is an ideal indication for the Snappy Abutment.

1-mm tall Snappy Abutment was seated on the implant, and the screw was engaged to a torque of 35 Ncm. The radiograph confirmed proper seating.	Using an off-the-shelf abutment replica, the laboratory fabricated a definitive NobelProcera Crown Zirconia, which was secured with resin-reinforced glass-ionomer cement.
