One-stage surgical approach to rehabilitate severely injured anterior teeth in a young woman.
Trauma of the maxillofacial district may cause severe injuries to patients, such as tooth loss or tooth fractures, which can irreversibly compromise aesthetics and function.The aim of this clinical report was to illustrate the possibility of achieving positive aesthetic and functional outcomes in a young patient through a 1-stage surgical approach. In a single stage, the patient underwent extraction of a compromised tooth, insertion of 5 implants, bone and connective grafts, and management of a fresh scar. A satisfied and appeased result from the patient's and clinician's points of view was obtained by means of some clinical tricks, avoiding the patient's stress because of a multiple-stage surgery.
