title: Trauma to an osseointegrated anterior dental implant: a case report.
abstract: Single tooth implant systems have been shown to offer a safe and highly predictable option for the replacement of anterior teeth. There is however, a paucity of evidence on the result of trauma to single tooth implant systems, particularly in the vulnerable anterior maxillary area. This article presents a report on the outcome of a traumatic incident to an osseointegrated single tooth implant.
