There are certainly situations where the standard implants can not be placed or suppose a risk for the crestal bone maintenance. The narrow implants have been used for a wide variety of indications, stablishing scientifically-based treatment protocols with excellent long-term results.In the present study we present a narrative review of narrow implants highlighting their indications and limitations, and a case report where narrow implants have been shown useful.
CASE REPORT.
A 59-year-old woman case report is presented, with a breast cancer history in 2008, who required the extraction of the four upper incisors. The case is solved with two post-extraction narrow implants and an immediate prosthesis to preserve aesthetics.
Conclusions.
In this case report, it is evident that narrow implants are an alternative when rehabilitate edentulous spaces with low available bone in the horizontal direction or reduced mesio-distal spaces in aesthetic areas.
Keywords : Narrow implants; anterior restoration; aesthetic restoration.
