research I Case 1 Due to an extensive dental history, none of the anterior teeth of the maxilla were conservable (Fig. 1a) and had to be removed gently (Fig. 1b). Immediately following extraction of the teeth, collagen and membrane cones were inserted (Fig. 1c) for the purpose of socket preservation and integration of the previously produced (Fig. 1d) interim prosthesis. Figures 1e and 1f show the clinical situation one and four weeks after surgery; Figure 1g shows the situation after delayed immediate implantation. The intraosseous suture material was removed seven days after implantation (Fig. 1h). After completion of the osseointegration phase, the casting was done (Fig. 1i), followed by insertion of the abutments using the prepared insertion aid (Figs. 1j–l). Figure 1m shows the exact conform- ity between planning (template) and achieved result (abutments). I 07implants1_2013 Fig. 1d Fig. 1e Fig. 1f Fig. 1g Fig. 1h Fig. 1i Fig. 1j Fig. 1k Fig. 1l Fig. 1m
