Introduction: Since the introduction of Branemark implant system in 1982, the use of root-form endosseous dental implants as tooth replacements in both completely and partially edentulous patient has become mainstream practice in dentistry. Immediate implant placement and loading in anterior esthetic zone has always been challenging. The present case report documents one such case which added something unique to my clinical experience.
Methodology: The patient reported seeking replacement of her maxillary right central incisor which had a failed RCT. After clinical and radiographic assessment, an informed consent was obtained from her. Under prophylaxis, the involved tooth was extracted atraumatically and the socket was debrided thoroughly. An implant was placed such that the screw access emerged at the cingulum area to facilitate a screw-retained crown. the same extracted tooth crown was modified using composite resin to render it into a screw-retained crown. the patient went off happily.
Conclusion: An implant with immediate placement and restoration can heal uneventfully even after it gets mobile within 10 days post-loading if the involved implant in unloaded and allowed to heal undisturbed like in conventional loading protocol.
