title: Immediate postextraction implant with simultaneous buccal plate augmentation, restored with lithium disilicate abutment and veneer: a clinical report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the successful use of biphasic calcium sulfate for improving the buccal plate thickness in an immediate postextraction implant, and its fi nal restoration with custom lithium disilicate abutment and veneer.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A hopeless lateral incisor was replaced with an immediate postextraction implant in conjunction with a buccal plate augmentation based on biphasic calcium sulfate. Satisfactory soft tissue height and quality were maintained following healing. The fi nal restoration managed the severely reduced prosthetic space due to deep bite, and allowed an adhesive luting procedure.
