Abstract

Dental trauma is common in active children and adolescents. Among them, in the case of ankylosis due to avulsion, diagnosis through clinical examination is important, and the treatment is important for esthetic prosthetic restoration after adulthood. This case is a case of esthetic prosthetic restoration of maxillary anterior teeth through decoronation and implant. After that, space was maintained for prosthetic restoration using a decoronated crown. After becoming an adult, precise implant placement and esthetic prosthetic restoration were possible using guide surgery. For soft tissue support, the temporary crown were replaced by changing the contours of the temporary crown, and the final esthetic prosthesis was fabricated by digital wax-up.
