Abstract

The harmony between the pink and white zones, particularly in the aesthetic sections, must be achieved and maintained as one of the fundamental objectives of prosthetic rehabilitation. The loss of buccal bone, both vertically and horizontally, as well as the flattening of the interproximal bony scallop were reported to follow an atraumatic extraction of a tooth with rapid implant placement [1]. This led to a challenging rehabilitation.
