Ranging from the extraction of teeth from anterior sector commitment to the loss of bone and soft tissues, alveolar preservation is a regenerative technique that employs biomaterials that induce the preservation of bone tissue and minimize resorption. Placement of provisional restorations at the defect site maintains the stability of the soft tissues and aesthetics at which the definitive restoration is found. The objective of this clinical case was alveolar preservation postextraction of the anterior tooth that presented a coronal fracture, placing the clinical crown of the extracted tooth as the provisional restoration to maintain stability and to avoid soft tissue collapse and compromise to an aesthetic area.

This report describes the case of a patient who required rehabilitation of their maxillary anterior teeth following a traumatic injury through a physical altercation. The decision was made to extract the maxillary central incisors and maxillary right lateral incisor, perform immediate implantation on the maxillary right lateral incisor and left central incisor areas, and place a three-unit immediate provisional restoration. Predesigned virtual teeth enabled efficient fabrication of the immediate provisional restoration following the implant placement. After a sufficient healing period with periodic check-ups, final impressions were made using a digital approach, with meticulous care taken to preserve the gingival architecture around the sites of rehabilitation. Thus, the custom abutments and definitive restoration were placed without eliciting an uncomfortable feeling in the patient. Both esthetic and functional outcomes were satisfactory. Reduced soft tissue volume around the implant restoration was observed, primarily within the two months post-extraction/implantation, based on superimposition of the serial scan data. Soft tissue volume changes in the present case suggest the need for controlled clinical studies of three-dimensional changes of gingival contours after extraction and/or implantation.

ABSTRACT The restoration of esthetics along with maintenance of healthy gingival tissues is of utmost importance when treating the maxillary anterior region. The resorption of the residual ridge or the irregularities in soft tissue often results in an unfavorable relationship with the pontic, compromising the final esthetic outcome. Various techniques have been developed to overcome this problem, among which tissue conditioning with controlled pressure proves out to be a boon as it is noninvasive. This article presents a case of a 27-year-old male with a missing central incisor with irregular soft tissue contour. A modified ovate pontic was used and the soft tissue was conditioned with a provisional restoration followed by a specialized impression technique aiming to record the conditioned tissue without any displacement. Esthetic emergence profile was achieved in final prosthesis without any adverse consequences on a long-term follow-up. How to cite this article Quazi MA, Gade J, Lahoti K, Gade V.
