Replacement of a Failing Upper Left Central Incisor: Immediate Placement of an RC Bone Level Implant and Provisionalization
A healthy 23-year-old female patient was referred for a consultation on replacing tooth 21 with an implant-supported restoration. The patient had recently moved to the area and reported a history of endodontic and periodontal treatment for tooth 21. The tooth had been deemed non-restorable by her previous periodontist but since she was going to be moving, he recommended consulting to a dentist in her new city to continue her treatment. A review of her medical history yielded no significant findings and no known drug allergies. The analysis of her smile revealed a medium to high symmetrical smile line and a slightly discolored tooth 21.

* General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.
** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
