I case report _ delayed immediate implantation Case 2 In the right half of the maxilla, the two remaining posterior teeth were fractured and deeply damaged by caries(Fig.2a),thusnon-conservable. The two alveoli remained largely intact (Fig. 2b) after gentle removal of the roots, and a customised collagen membrane and cone unit was inserted (Fig. 2c). The suture material was removed one week after surgery (Fig. 2d). After four weeks, the bone bed showed no irritation and a primary reconstruction to a large extent. We were able to insert two implants after this short waiting period. Figure 2e shows the condition after implant bed drilling; Figure 2f shows the two inserted implants. Please also see the corresponding dental panoramic X-ray (Fig. 2g). Upon completion of the osseointegration period, the implants showed no irritation (Fig. 2h), so that the impression could be taken with a customised spoon (Fig. 2i) and the dental lab work (Figs. 2j & k) was executed. 30 I cosmeticdentistry 3_2013 Fig. 2a Fig. 2b Fig. 2c Fig. 2d Fig. 2e Fig. 2f Fig. 2g Fig. 2h Fig. 2i Fig. 2j
