Abstract:
Dental implant became the solution to conventional dentures and bridges these days. Both single crown implants and implant-supported fixed partial dentures came as the options for restoring partially missing teeth. Fixed implant supported restorations could be screwed, cemented, or both through cemented prosthesis with palatal or lingual fastening screws. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each system are important. This case report will show step by step of implant placement using bone level implant fixture and screw and cement retained zirconia restoration. Transgingival healing was achieved by using healing abutment through one step surgery. Good emergence profile acquired from the use of healing abutment will give good aesthetic outcome. Digital workflow was included in this treatment to replace impression process with digital scanning of implant. The fabricaton of the restoration used in this case also using CAD/CAM technology. Zirconia ceramic has proven to have strength and good aesthetic results in dentistry. Cementation of the restoration became one of the important steps in this case report, therefore determining the appropriate cement for zirconia would affect long-term outcome of the restoration. Patient were required to maintain oral hygiene before and after the implant placement. The aim of this case report is to show simple way in restoring missing teeth in posterior region of mandible by using dental implant.
