[Clinical report of Brånemark implant treatment for lower anterior teeth defect with severe resorption of alveolar bone].
METHODS
A 20-year-old female patient with lower anterior teeth defect was referred from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Orthodontics, Tokushima University Dental Hospital. The patient had severe resorption of alveolar bone around lower anterior edentulous and was treated with Brånemark implant system.


CONCLUSIONS
The implant prosthesis made fine outcome and was satisfactory for the functional and esthetic requirement of the patient. The superstructure, which was constructed with a combination of inner and outer crowns, resulted in over counter design. Maintenance of the implant and dental hygiene was continued with the cooperation of the Department of Preventive Dentistry.


CONCLUSIONS
The dental implant prosthesis could satisfy the functional and esthetic expectations of this patient sufficiently.
