Dental implants can be used for the replacement of lost teeth as a result of trauma, even in complex cases with extensive loss of hard and soft tissues. Cooperation between the surgeon and restorative dentist is essential. The sequence of steps each team member must take to reach the definitive prosthesis stage must be clearly defined during treatment planning. A clinical report is presented.
