I case report _ delayed immediate implantation Case 3 The teeth were marked by a severe previous periodontitis, and the two upper central incisors were damaged so severely (Fig. 3a) that they were considered non-conservable. After minimally invasive removal of the two upper central incisors (Fig. 3b), the alveoli of the incisors were found to be intact (Fig. 3c) so that, for the purpose of socket preservation, collagen cone and membrane units were inserted (Fig. 3d) and fixated (Fig. 3e). Two implants (Fig. 3f) were inserted after primary healing of the soft tissue. Figure 3g shows the immediate postoperative status; Figure 3h shows the status after one week. The two implants were fitted with crowns upon completion of further eight weeks of healing time. Figure 3i shows the clinical findings after six months within the scope of a recall appointment. 32 I cosmeticdentistry 3_2013 Fig. 3a Fig. 3b Fig. 3c Fig. 3d Fig. 3e Fig. 3f Fig. 3g Fig. 3i Fig. 3h
