Abstract
Currently dental implant treatment become popular. More clinicians are being presented with the opportunity to perform implant services in their own practice. The use of one-piece implant can be considered as treatment for the replacement of missing tooth in the areas of limited tooth-to-tooth spacing and would bring less trauma for the soft tissue. A 52-year-old female patient presented with difficulty in mastication due to the loss of teeth of 35 region with limitation mesio distal space. Radiology examination did not reveal any radiolucencies in 35 region. Radiograph revealed sufficient bone height from crestal to the floor of the mandible. A one-piece implant was placed in the 35 region. The present case used an endosteal implant, one stage surgery, and delayed loading. Restoration with porcelain fused to the metal crown had been delivered three months after the one-piece implant placement. The result of this treatment indicated that one-piece implant could be considered as an effective therapy choice for replacement of missing tooth in order to rehabilitate the masticatory function.
