Single Tooth Restoration in the Maxilla Using the Straumann® PURE® Ceramic Implant Monotype: One Year Follow up

The surgical technique begins with the lift of a vestibular mucoperiosteal flap respecting the papillae of the adjacent teeth. After the alveolar bone is exposed, the sequence of drilling and placement of the intra-bone fixation are carried out. In case of fenestrations or dehiscence, they are treated by xenograft and collagen-absorbable membrane. Once the implant is placed, a healing cap or provisional prosthesis is placed depending on the torque achieved. Finally, the flap is replaced and sutured.
