- Abstract
This case report describes an alternative minimally invasive fixed rehabilitation to approach an impacted maxillary canine (IMC) and the residual deciduous teeth. The patient refused any orthodontic treatment or surgical extraction of the IMC, asking for a fixed and fast option. Considering the available bone was about 5 mm in height, an immediately provisionalized postextractive 4-mm super-short implant was placed. Healing was uneventful. Two years after loading, the result was stable and the patient was fully satisfied. Within all the limitations of this case report, this approach could reduce rehabilitative times, possible complications, and costs.
