COMPUTER ASSISTED CONNECTIVE TISSUE HARVESTING AND FULLDIGITAL WORK-FLOW FOR AN IMMEDIATELY LOADED CENTRAL INCISOR POST EXTRACTION IMPLANT ON A MORSE-CONE TISSUE LEVEL CONNECTOR. A CASE REPORT

PURPOSE. The aim of this case report was to describe an immediate post extraction central upper incisor implant installation with a full-guided computer assisted approach and immediate temporization on morse-cone tissue level connector through a full-digital workflow, with a customized 3D connective tissue graft harvesting to boost the thin gingival biotype.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. An healthy 49-year-old female with a vertical root fracture on left upper jaw central incisor was treated with an immediate post-extraction implant immediately loaded with a temporary crown on a morse-cone tissue level connector with a full-digital work-flow. A connective tissue graft was harvested to boost facial and papillae tissues with a new computerized and customized connective tissue harvesting technique.

RESULTS. One year after final prosthesis delivery no biological and prosthetic complications were recorded. Healthy peri-implant tissues were recorded with not bleeding on probing, symmetric cervical zenith with the natural right central incisor and natural looking full papillae.

CONCLUSIONS. The good results of this case should prompt randomized controlled trials to verify the potential clinical advantages of this novel approach in treating immediate post-extractive aesthetic implant cases.
