Immediate Implant and Provisional Restoration Using the Corrected Model: A Specific Approach

Background: The restoration of the anterior maxilla with implants requires precise techniques to ensure aesthetic outcomes. Immediate implant placement with provisional restoration is a commonly used method to preserve soft tissue and maintain esthetics. Observation: A 40-year-old male patient with a severely decayed maxillary lateral incisor (tooth 22) underwent immediate implant placement following extraction. A resin-based indexing key was fabricated pre-surgery to guide implant positioning. A provisional restoration was placed, and a corrected model was created for final restoration. Radiographic control confirmed the proper positioning. Conclusion: This case illustrates the effectiveness of the corrected model technique combined with digital workflows (CAD/CAM and intraoral scanning) for immediate implant placement and provisional restoration, achieving both aesthetic and functional success.
