SINGLE-TOOTH QUATTRO IMPLANT IN
Our case study is a 45-year old male patient with no relevant medical history. He attended the department of the Master’s Degree in Oral Surgery at the University of Valencia for restoration of his upper right second premolar which was missing. To restore his tooth, an Inhex Quattro implant (4.25 mm diameter and 10 mm length) was placed in a subcrestal position, achieving high primary implant stability despite the bone having low density. The implant was submerged and a healing cap was placed on the implant during the second stage. The prosthetic restoration comprised a screw-retained porcelain-fused-to-metal crown on a customised Bio-CAM abutment.
