Abstract

The replacement of a single missing anterior tooth with an implant-supported crown is a demanding therapy. This report describes a treatment in which an anterior maxillary implant was immediately restored with a provisional restoration. During the provisional phase, an optimal emergence profile was created by adjusting the provisional restoration. An impression was made with an individually fabricated impression post for an accurate reproduction of the established emergence profile and, finally, a screw-retained all-ceramic crown was placed. By implementing this protocol, an optimal definitive result could be achieved, together with immediate patient satisfaction.

Abstract

The traumatic loss of an eye is not just the loss of an essential sense organ. It results in life-long agony of not being like others with two eyes, which can see and admire the nature's beauty. As young patients are quite sensitive to peer pressure and for them, the greatest challenges are in the terms of identity and social acceptance, so, early rehabilitation is must in such patients. This article reports on the rehabilitation of a 13-year boy with custom ocular prosthesis for his traumatically injured left eye. The custom made ocular prosthesis fitted over the patient's left eye with ophthalmomalacia, successfully restored the patient's aesthetics and improved his social acceptance thereby, improving his quality of life.
