Abstract
Immediate nonfunctional loading of an implant in the anterior region is a documented treatment modality with high success rates. This therapeutic approach is frequently used to overcome esthetic and functional problems during the provisionalization period but also because it provides better support of peri-implant soft tissues. For that purpose, an implant-supported resin restoration, either traditionally or digitally made, is used. This clinical report describes the modification of a patient's natural tooth, which was previously fractured, to be used as an implant-supported provisional restoration to obtain better esthetics and preservation of the soft tissues in their original, pre-extraction position.
