Fixed cosmetic replacement of fractured tooth with dental implant

This was a case of fractured upper front tooth due to accidental fall. The patient wanted to have fixed permanent replacement of the same.

After thorough clinical and radiological examination, no fractures on the labial and palatal cortical bone plates were ensured. Maxillofacial Surgeon and Implantologist Dr. S. M. Balaji successfully extracted the fractured tooth and immediate dental implant was fixed. After complete osseointegration of the dental implant with that of the alveolar bone, fixed cosmetic ceramic crown was loaded into the dental implant giving enhanced appearance.
