Rehabilitation of maxillary canine edentulous by autograft and implant supported prosthesis

Abstract

Canine edentulous raises numerous aesthetic and functional problems, and rehabilitation with implant support require special attention during occlusal equilibration due to forces developed at this level. In this paper, we present a case of edentation of 23, prosthesis with a metal-ceramic crowns cemented on a dental implant. Because residual bone crest present inadequate size for implantation, we used an autograft of chin covered by a PRF membrane prior insertion of the implant.
