The case presented in the slideshow below is one where after the emergency extraction, the patient was given a removable partial denture also commonly called “flipper”. After a few weeks of wearing the flipper, the patient could no longer bear with discomfort of the flipper. After review of available options, the patient opted for a conservative, natural , metal free and non-removable method of tooth replacement. A zirconia crown supported by a ceramic dental implant which is also made of zirconia was selected to be the method of tooth replacement.
