DRAFT TEXT: This is an example of how we can maintain proper gum contours by placing an implant immediatly after extraction, then placing a temporary crown. This is important to prevent the gum tissue between the implant and the tooth from "flattening".
Sample Case of an Immediately Placed Implant
m,.
This is a case in which the patient fractured her left front tooth in childhood, and the root finally failed with a latent deep fracture. The tooth was extracted, and the implant was placed immediately thereafter at the same appointment.
