This case series reports the rehabilitation of the anterior maxilla using immediate implant placement and provisional restoration in combination with preservation of the alveolar foramen. Four patients presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with a non-preservable maxillary incisor following dental trauma. Treatment planning was performed digitally using Co-DiagnostiX software. The treatment protocol included atraumatic extraction followed by immediate implant placement and provisional restoration with an implant-supported single crown. In all cases, the non-salvageable tooth was carefully extracted and a dental implant (2 BLT, 2 BLX, Straumann) was placed using a flapless approach. Augmentation was performed with a combination of autogenous and xenogenous material, and the soft tissue was augmented with a connective tissue graft. After surgery, intraoral scans were taken and a CAD-CAM provisional crown was fabricated and placed on the same day as surgery. The final ceramic crown was placed after three to six months. The soft tissue profile was compared by superimposing the baseline intraoral scans (before and immediately after surgery) with the follow-up scans. Six months after surgery, soft tissue changes were considered minimal compared to baseline.
