In the anterior maxillary area, dental implants for tooth replacement are challenging due to the need to satisfy high esthetic level as well as functionality. Immediate implant placement and provisionalization can dramatically reduce the edentulous period, and then fulfill patient’s demand for esthetics. The aim of present case report is to demonstrate two cases that successfully restored single tooth with immediate implant placement and provisionalization in the anterior maxillary area. A 47 years old female was scheduled to replace her maxillary right central incisor due to crown-root fracture by trauma. Another 54-year-old female was planned to place dental implant following tooth extraction of maxillary right lateral incisor owing to continuous pus discharge despite repetitive treatments including apicoectomy. In these two cases, surgical and prosthetic procedures progressed in a similar way. After minimal flap elevation, atraumatic tooth extraction was performed. Implant was placed in proper 3-dimensional position and angulation with primary stability. Bone graft or guided bone regeneration for peri-implant bone defect was conducted simultaneously. Provisionalization without occlusal loading was carried out at the same day. Each definitive crown was delivered at 7 and 5 months after the surgery. Two cases have been followed uneventfully for 2 to 5 years of loading time. In conclusion, Immediate implant placement and provisionalization could lead to esthetic outcome for single tooth replacement with dental implant under proper case selection.
