Abstract
This clinical report describes a conservative approach to improve an unesthetic implant-supported
crown and peri-implant mucosal recession around a malpositioned, 1-piece implant in
the maxillary right central incisor region by using digital technology. In such clinical
situations, the implants are usually removed because of an unpredictable definitive
esthetic outcome. However, this clinical report describes the preservation of such
a compromised implant by improving the esthetic outcome with a connective-tissue graft,
and a digital approach used a 1-step preformed zirconia coping technique with an appropriate
emergence profile.
