Immediate Implant placement after fracture*

The patient presented with a broken tooth that had a hopeless prognosis. To preserve the teeth on either side an implant was chosen to replace the tooth. The implant was placed at the same time as the extraction. The implant replaces the lost root and helps to preserve bone. A crown was placed over the implant fully restoring function and aesthetics. A bone graft was used to help with healing and stability.
