title: Implant-borne single tooth replacement--an illustration and rationale.
abstract: This article demonstrates a method for the replacement of a single missing tooth with a dental implant system that can simply and easily be incorporated into a general practice. Recent innovations in implant abutment design and impression procedures have resulted in a technique that is very similar to traditional crown and bridge procedures. This article describes a step-by-step protocol for the restoration of a single missing tooth with an implant-borne, cemented crown.
