This follow-up after 12 months concerns the current clinical and radiological condition of a case previously documented in a published report,1 more specifically an implantological treatment in region #12. In summary, endodontic treatment of tooth #12 had failed, the tooth was not worth preserving and it was thus extracted in a minimally invasive manner. Local bone and alveolar management were carried out using bio-functionalised (injectable platelet-rich fibrin or A-PRF) CERASORB Foam (curasan), a biomimetic, regenerative -tricalcium phosphate collagen matrix. Six weeks after the alveolar management, delayed immediate implantation was carried out using a surgical guide and implant position was confirmed via an intraoperative scan. The scan was used to produce a new, special individualised PEEK healing abutment. Another six weeks later, implant exposure and direct soft-tissue management took place in the healing phase with the special PEEK healing abutment. Finally, the fitting of a ceramic crown was carried out...
