Application Of Autologous Crown After Immediate Implantation: A Case Report

This study evaluated the clinical efficacy of autologous crowns in immediate implantation for traumatic teeth. A 32-year-old female underwent immediate implantation of a fractured left maxillary anterior tooth. The extracted tooth’s autologous crown, combined with resin filling, was polished and provisionally restored intraoperatively. At 6-month follow-up, the implant demonstrated successful osseointegration, stable peri-implant bone levels on imaging, and favorable gingival contour with preserved papilla height. Patient’satisfaction was high, and no significant soft-tissue recession was observed after final restoration. Immediate implantation with autologous crown restoration effectively maintains peri-implant soft-tissue architecture, particularly in aesthetic zones. Compared to temporary abutments, autologous crowns offer superior biocompatibility, minimize soft-tissue irritation, and preserve gingival morphology through their natural shape and adhesive retention, avoiding mechanical disruption during healing. This approach reduces treatment costs and eliminates the need for multiple abutment adjustments. Autologous crowns serve as an optimal transitional restoration for immediate implantation in anterior regions, balancing aesthetics, biological compatibility, and cost-effectiveness. This method provides a promising clinical strategy for preserving peri-implant soft-tissue stability and enhancing patient outcomes.
