ABSTRACT

Prosthetic rehabilitation of the anterior aesthetic zone is one of the most challenging enigmas for the dental practitioners. It is extremely important to re-establish the function and aesthetics of this region well due to the visibility and smile performance. Patient’s age, socioeconomic status and mental integrity plays a very important role in these cases. Dental implants are widely accepted as a reliable treatment option for replacing anterior teeth. The clinician must consider the angulation of the implant placement, the time needed for implant integration and soft-tissue healing, creation of emergence profiles, occlusal forces in relationship to progressive loading, and occlusal forces on the final restoration through a well formulated treatment plan. This case report focuses on the rehabilitation of a missing central incisor along with closure of unaesthetic diastema using an implant supported crown and a porcelain laminate veneer.
