Abstract
This case report presents a technique with a surgical index for implant restoration in anterior region of maxilla. The patient was 19-year-old male who had lost right central incisor of maxilla by injury. In the first stage surgery, osteotomes were used to expand the labiolingual width of implant hole. The implant fixture was covered with autologous bone and guided bone regeneration membrane. In the second stage surgery of 6 months later, the membrane was removed, and surgical index was used to transfer the position of the fixture to working model. A temporary healing collar was completely covered with the flap to augment the height of soft tissue by guided soft tissue augmentation technique. In the third stage surgery, the resin provisional crown with proper emergence profile made on the working model was set on the fixture. After the provisional crown was adjusted for 3 months, final prosthesis was set. It was shown that the surgical index technique was useful in esthetic implant restoration.
