Abstrakt: Narrow-diameter implants (≤3.5 mm) have been proposed to address the challenge of implant placement in cases of insufficient bone quantity, thin alveolar crest, and small cervical diameter teeth replacement The aim of this study is to report one-year outcomes of extra-narrow implant rehabilitation of maxillary lateral incisors, due to agenesis, in a young adult that presented sites with reduced mesiodistal and buccolingual dimensions. A 26-year-old male patient in need of fixed-implant supported prostheses due to the absence of permanent maxillary lateral incisors and with limited space, was submitted to surgery to receive two 2.9 mm hybrid Morse taper connection implants with hydrophilic surfaces. Immediate loading was applied by means of insertion of provisional prostheses, which were replaced for all-ceramic prostheses 12 months after surgery. The 1 year follow-up showed clinical and radiographic success of extra-narrow implant rehabilitation. Also, both regions presented good evolution of peri-implant esthetics, as assesses using the pink esthetic score, with improvements at 4 months follow-up and reaching high scores 12 months after surgery. Although the prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillary lateral incisors is challenging due to limited space for the insertion of implants, the clinical case suggests that the use of extra-narrow Morse Taper implants with hybrid design and hydrophilic surface is a reliable alternative, presenting good outcomes regarding hard and soft tissue and it is a versatile solution or immediate loading procedure. Further studies are needed to confirm extra-narrow implant predictability.
