摘要
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to describe a clinical case in which the patient's natural teeth were extracted and used as provisionals immediately after the implants had been placed.
Patient Presentation: A 52-yearold woman was treated with implants at the 2 maxillary central incisors using osseotite-tapered certain implants (Biomet 3I Inc., Palm Beach Gardens, FL), length: 15 mm, diameter: 4.1 mm; and the extracted teeth were used as provisionals.
Results: After 4 months of using the temporary teeth, the treatment was concluded with the placement of 2 metal-free crowns on the implants and light polymerized resin on teeth 7 and 10.
Conclusions: This work showed the possibility of using the patient's extracted teeth as provisional teeth during the period of osseointegration, preserving aesthetics and favoring gingival tissue healing with a correct emergence profile and maintenance of the gingival papillae.
