Patient 2
Patient 2 
* male 
* 35 years 
* no medical condition 
* patient’s request: 
- solution for discoloured 
central incisor (21) 
- (referred patient)
periodontal chart
21 internal root resorption, discoloured 
slight crowding 21,11 
buccally positioned 11,21 
buccal recession 11 and 21 
diagnosis
how could we satisfy the patient’s aesthetic 
wishes? 
is it possible to improve soft tissue levels 11 
and 21 (more incisally) 
Is the patient willing to go through orthodontic 
treatment, periodontal surgery and to manage teeth 
restoratively? 
how do we manage the space problem 
Can the hard an soft tissue volume be maintained/ 
improved/stabilised after extraction 21 
can we restore this patient predictably with 
long-term strategy? 
primary concerns
restriction of treatment: only 21 (soft tissue 11) 
extraction 21 
if possible immediate implant 
placement and ridge preservation 
adjust soft tissue levels 11 and 
21with connective soft tissue graft 
restore 21 with provisional 
restoration (resin bonded bridge) 
for 2 months 
restore 21 with provisional 
restoration (screw retained) for 
6 months 
soft tissue maturation and 
management phase (6months) 
restore 21 with ceramic 
restoration
