The single tooth edentulous space can be treated with an osseointegrated implant if presurgical prosthetic planning is specific and accurate. To establish accurate placement of the implant, the position of the mandibular incisor must be studied in relation to the exit point of the implant in the maxillary arch. A sufficient space for placing the implant abutment components, as well as for the crown, must be provided.
