title: Single tooth replacement with a combined post-and-crown implant prosthesis: a case report.
abstract: A patient desiring restoration of an individual second molar requested an osseointegrated implant. However, this patient lacked sufficient vertical space to accommodate a cemented crown, and did not want to compromise the adjacent dentition. A combination post-and-crown prosthesis effectively restored function and clinically acceptable aesthetics for this patient. The techniques for fabrication and rationale for this type of prosthesis are discussed.
