Can You Put a Tooth Back for Me?
A 51-year-old man has poor dentition (Fig.1). He cannot chew on the left side, which leads to fracture of the tooth #30 (Fig.2). He is pleased to learn that immediate implant is possible. He asks whether a tooth can be placed immediately. When micromovement is explained, he says that he will not chew on the tooth. Fig.3 is a design for the immediate implant (I) and abutment (A). What happens to surgery?
