This patient had a toothache in a lower left hand side molar but was not interested in root canal treatment to save the tooth. Referral was made to local specialists to remove the lower first molar and place a Straumann tissue level implant. After 3 months of healing impressions were taken and a screw retained abutment/crown was inserted.
