Loose crown, bleeding and inflamed gingiva. Pre-op x-ray.
Root fracture due to metal post. Note the periodontal disease on tooth number 12.
Implant and bone harvesting.
Implant placed – due to periodontium health, not a candidate for immediate loading.
everStick fibre framework, plumbers tape used for moisture and bleeding control.
Layering technique to construct pontic.
Pontic kept well away from implant healing cup to monitor healing process.
End result.
Implant Provisional Bridges Case #2 Temporization with everStick® C&B Fibre Strengthened Composite
The 34 year old patient knocked out his upper left central incisor (11) when he was 18 years old. After RCT the tooth was replaced. Over time the tooth discoloured and a direct composite veneer was placed.
13 Years later the tooth became mobile and X-rays revealed massive internal resorbtion. The tooth was removed and an implant was placed. It was decided not to load the implant immediately but rather to manufacture a fibre strengthened direct bridge for the integration phase.
After rubber dam isolation everStick® C&B fibres were bonded to the upper left central and on this sturdy cantilever structure a pontic was built with Z100™ composite. Eight months later the implant was fully integrated and a permanent implant-supported porcelain veneered to metal crown was placed.
