- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of a modified surgical and prosthodontic procedure for the replacement of a single missing tooth. It discusses the benefits of replacing a single missing tooth using osseointegrated titanium fixtures, placed according to the Brånemark technique. It describes the surgical and prosthodontic procedure followed in the replacement, which included extraction of the tooth to be replaced, designing the titanium abutments, and checking the fit, shape and color of the artificial crown.
