Abstract
Mandibular anterior region has high implant survival rates and better accessibility compared with any other region. Even if there are possibilities for perforation on lingual cortical bone due to improper drilling and bleeding caused by lingual artery damage, mandibular anterior region is a safe region because less amount of major anatomical structures exist compared with other regions. However, because of narrow bucco-lingual width of alveolar ridge, it is challengeable to obtain esthetic implant prosthesis. Although patients are less sensitive subjectively, mandibular anterior region is as difficult as maxillary anterior region in that implant placement location plays a critical role on the prognosis of implant prosthesis. One-piece implant is a very useful option for mandibular anterior region. Considering the narrow roots and thin alveolar bone of mandible, it is clinically difficult for implant diameter to be greater than 3mm In this case, we could approach the esthetic restoration in mandibular anterior region with one-piece implant and immediate loading.
