Abstract
To report a novel digital workflow to replace an anterior maxillary tooth lost due to trauma with an implant multilayer restoration by using the patient's extracted tooth as a final crown restoration using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. Instead of using the patient's natural tooth as an immediate provisional restoration to achieve predictable results in terms of esthetics and soft tissue structure, a novel digital strategy was performed to obtain a natural final crown restoration by using the patient's tooth associated with a lithium disilicate customized implant abutment. The perspective of using this strategic approach for implant restorative dental treatments in patients with traumatic root fractures in the anterior region has great potential as it helps to maintain the emergence profile of the natural dentition and esthetics. Optimal esthetic outcomes are challenging in implant dentistry regarding soft tissue structure and morphology factors. Using natural teeth from surgery to deliver the final restoration might be beneficial when an anterior tooth is lost due to trauma.
