Clinical case description:

The patient was in good health and referred to my practice because of an ache and hypermobility of the element # 1.1. The RX examination displayed a radicular fracture in corresponance of that element. An atraumatic extraction has been performed, maintaining integer the alveolar walls and the socket has been filled with DBBM, covered with a collagen membrane, in order to hinder the shrinkage of hard and soft tissues. The healing was uneventful and four months after the surgery, a prosthetically driven implant has been placed. In the following months, soft tissues contour have been modeled by provisional and definitive prosthetic crowns.

Two years and a half later, the profile of soft and hard tissues are still mantained.
