A buccal plate destroyed as a result of a longitudinal root fracture was completely restored by the use of a Frialit-2 implant placed in the alveolus of the fractured maxillary left first bicuspid. An acellular dermal matrix material was used as a membrane barrier to cover the implant, and a bioactive glass was used as grafting material. After 6 months, the defect around the implant was completely filled by mineralized tissue.
