  1. 1

    Starting point

    A root-canal-treated front incisor with chronic inflammation around the root tip — a hidden focal infection identified during comprehensive consultation.

    The X-ray picture

    The panoramic view shows the root-filled tooth. Inflammatory activity was also verified with a RANTES marker test before surgery.

    Digital surgical planning

    3D CBCT imaging, virtual implant planning and a 3D-printed surgical template — the surgery was fully planned before it began.

    One surgery — the full biological protocol

    The tooth was removed with a biological protocol, the site treated with PRF fibrin membrane, the gum built up with a connective tissue graft (CTG), and an SDS Swiss metal-free ceramic implant placed — with an immediate temporary crown, all in a single session.

    The ceramic implant integrated

    The monoblock ceramic implant on X-ray — metal-free, biocompatible, firmly integrated in the bone.

    The final zirconia crown

    Five months later, the final zirconia crown completed the treatment — indistinguishable from the neighbouring natural teeth.
