Restoration of a missing lateral incisor
Dr. Tidu Mankoo
Dental technicians Luc & Patrick Rutten
Patient with congenitally missing right and peg-shaped left lateral incisor. Orthodontic treatment was carried out to align the teeth and create the correct space for restoration of both lateral incisors. The maxillary left incisor was restored with a lithium disilicate veneer followed by extraction of right deciduous lateral incisor with immediate placement of a NobelActive® TiUltra™ implant and immediate provisionalisation. Simultaneous soft tissue augmentation was carried out with sub-epithelial connective tissue graft.
Patient: 22 years, male
Clinical situation: congenitally missing right lateral and peg shaped left lateral maxillary incisor
Surgical solution: extraction & immediate placement of NobelActive® TiUltra™ implant
Restorative solution: Temporary: SnapTemp abutment and Tempshell crown. Final: NobelProcera® ASC Full Contour Zirconia Implant Crown
Surgery date: April, 2019
Total treatment time: 3 months
Tooth position: 12
Initial clinical situation
Clinical view of patient with retained deciduous right maxillary lateral incisor and peg-shaped left lateral. Note the poor relative proportions of the incisors, anterior crowding and the lack of adequate space for the maxillary lateral incisors (left).

Initial clinical situation
Clinical situation after 14 months of orthodontic treatment.
Treatment planning
Digital planning of the implant placement and digitally designed TempShell in the DTX Studio™ Implant software.

Restorative procedure
At 2 months, impressions were taken (both conventional and digital) and shade communication provided to the laboratory. The temporary was refitted.
Restorative procedure
DTX Studio™ Lab software was utilized to design the zirconia framework for a NobelProcera® ASC Full Contour Zirconia Implant Crown with labial cutback and veneered with porcelain on the labial side (work by Luc & Patrick Rutten).
Restorative procedure
Delivery of the final prosthetic 3 months after the implant placement.
Outcome
1 week follow-up: Intraoral view of the final restoration.
Outcome
Clinical situation showing pleasing esthetic result after one month of follow-up (left).
