## Abstract

Replacing a lateral incisor in a thin biotype can feel like threading a needle: the margin for error is small, the patient’s expectations are high, and soft-tissue management is everything. This case follows a 75-year-old ASA II female who presented with a fractured #22 (12 weeks post-extraction and prior bone regeneration) and received an immediate temporary restoration with a [MultiNeO™](https://www.alpha-bio.net/en-int/multineo-nina?utm_source=ABT_blog&utm_medium=Case_Blog+post) implant powered by [NiNA™](https://www.alpha-bio.net/en-int/multineo-nina?utm_source=ABT_blog&utm_medium=Case_Blog+post) in D4 bone. The plan combined implant placement with vertical and horizontal soft-tissue augmentation and immediate **non-functional** loading to protect early healing.

## **Preoperative context and planning **

 Following extraction and augmentation, the site still lacked volume in the papilla and buccal aspects—an esthetic red flag. Digital planning was used to define the intended three-dimensional position of both implant and crown.  

**Implant selection & dimensions.** A [MultiNeO™](https://www.alpha-bio.net/en-int/multineo-nina?utm_source=ABT_blog&utm_medium=Case_Blog+post)implant (Ø3.75 mm, L10 mm) was used, matched to the narrow lateral incisor envelope while maintaining a restorative path aligned to the planned emergence profile.

  
**Surgical and immediate restorative steps** 

**Insertion and surface behavior.** Intraoperative blood wetting demonstrated the [NiNA™ implant’s](https://www.alpha-bio.net/en-int/multineo-nina?utm_source=ABT_blog&utm_medium=Case_Blog+post) nano, super-hydrophilic surface - useful in low-density (D4) bone to support early biological interactions.

**Soft-tissue strategy.** Given the cervical volume deficiency, combined vertical and horizontal soft-tissue augmentation accompanied placement to build the peri-implant scaffold for later esthetics.

**The Non-Loading protocol.** The team opted for immediate **non-functional** loading-provisionally restoring without occlusal contact to protect the bone-implant interface in the early phase. The temporary crown was engaged after surgery and documented radiographically.

 

 **Postoperative course and outcomes** 

**Short-term.** The immediate postoperative status and the 12-week temporary crown phase are recorded; by three months, soft-tissue maturation around the provisional supported a stable cervical contour.

**Long-term.** The case concludes with a definitive restoration at the 12-month mark in the esthetic zone, indicating a stable soft-tissue frame and functional result over one year.

**Attribution.** Clinical protocol and documentation by Prof. Luigi Canullo (Italy).

### **Why this workflow matters?** 

- **Correct positioning** guided by a digital plan helps maintain restorative space and emergence for later soft-tissue support—especially critical for lateral incisors.
- Immediate **non-functional** loading should be considered when primary stability and soft-tissue management allow, helping the patient transition with a fixed provisional while keeping function conservative.
- A nano super-hydrophilic surface (NiNA™) can add early biologic wetting at placement, a useful feature when working in D4 bone.

**Professional Value: Practical Tips   **

1. **Plan prosthetically backward.** Start with the crown position and work back to the osteotomy—digita modeling helps ensure the implant axis, platform depth, and restorative components align with esthetic goals.
2. **Shape soft tissues early.** Use a provisional contour that supports papillae and the buccal profile from day one. Pair with connective-tissue augmentation when cervical thickness is lacking to protect mid-facial levels over time.
3. **Apply immediate non-functional loading.** Keep the provisional out of occlusion during the early period to reduce micromotion risk in lower-density bone. Document with postoperative radiographs to track stability.

Alpha-Bio Tec supports implant workflows with an education ecosystem (academy, online education, speaker community) and a portfolio spanning implant, prosthetic, surgical, digital, and regenerative solutions—useful for coordinating surgical and provisional steps in cases like this.

**Conclusion  **

In an esthetic-zone demonstrating D4 bone, this case shows how careful planning, soft-tissue augmentation, and immediate **non-functional** loading around a MultiNeO™ implant powered by NiNA™ can provide a safe path to function and esthetics over 12 months.
