title: The use of orthodontic treatment and immediate implant loading to restore the traumatic loss of a maxillary central incisor.
abstract: This clinical case describes a new orthodontic/surgical concept for immediate loading of hydroxyapatite-coated cylindric implants, placed at the end of orthodontic treatment, to restore a traumatically lost maxillary central incisor. Further clinical and histologic studies are necessary to promote routine clinical application of this technique.
