Immediate implant placement conserves the width and height of the alveolar bone after tooth extraction. This can bringabout esthetic results without an additional surgery and reduce the period of treatment. However, primary closure and initialstability of the soft tissues are difficult to obtain. A provisional restoration placed at an instant after an immediate implantcontributes to development and maintenance of soft tissue contours before fabrication of the definitive prosthesis. Also, it isan important alternative to covering an immediate implant, as it may solve the problem of deficient soft tissue for flap clos-ing. This case report describes a 24-year-old male patient who wanted an implant placement in the anterior maxilla afterextraction of a fractured tooth(#21). An implant was placed immediately in a fresh extraction site. At the time of the implantinstallation, ICB Cancellous Bone and Bio-ARMTMwere applied to the space between the implant and labial bone wall. Aprovisional restoration was connected to the implant immediately. The provisional crown was adjusted for a harmoniousgingival contour. Four months after the immediate implant placement, an all-ceramic crown with zirconia coping was fabri-cated. The patient was satisfied with the esthetic and functional aspects of the clinical result.
