The implant rehabilitation of anterior teeth, particularly maxillary central incisors, represents a major challenge in esthetic implantology. Preserving the integrity of soft and hard tissues while ensuring a natural prosthetic integration requires a rigorous and reproducible approach.
Main objective: restore a missing tooth while recreating a natural emergence profile and a harmonious gingival architecture.
➡ The iPhysio® protocol emerges as an innovative and standardized solution, combining clinical efficiency, esthetics, and tissue preservation.
Presentation of 3 Single Anterior Restorations Using the iPhysio® Protocol
This case series highlights three clinical situations requiring the rehabilitation of a central incisor after extraction. To optimize esthetic and functional outcomes, the standardized surgical and prosthetic workflow of the iPhysio® protocol was followed.
Treatment plan:
Atraumatic extraction, immediate implant placement, integration of the iPhysio® protocol to guide soft tissue healing and maintain a natural emergence profile with esthetic reconstruction.
Case A – Central incisor 11 :
loss due to periodontal disease
Case B – Central incisor 21 :
advanced periodontitis
Cas C – Central incisor 11 :
fracture and acute infection
Key Principles of the iPhysio® Protocol: A Global Approach to Esthetic Implant Restoration
The iPhysio® protocol is distinguished by an integrated approach based on key principles that optimize peri-implant tissue management throughout the treatment.
1. Faithful reproduction of the natural emergence profile
At the heart of the protocol, iPhysio®’s anatomical design allows for natural soft tissue sculpting, reproducing the morphology of a natural tooth from the earliest healing stages, ensuring optimal esthetics and harmonious integration.
2. Biological preservation through prosthetic continuity
One of the foundations of the iPhysio® protocol is the use of the same healing component (acting as an anatomical abutment) from implant placement to the final prosthesis. This principle eliminates micro-movements, stabilizing soft tissues and enhancing the longevity of results.
3. Biocompatibility and material–tissue synergy
The zirconia-coated iPhysio® abutment, used throughout the protocol, offers excellent tissue compatibility and limits bacterial plaque adhesion, promoting dynamic gingival adaptation while reducing the risk of inflammation or recession.
4. Streamlined digital workflow
The iPhysio® protocol integrates an optimized digital treatment chain: iPhysio® also serves as a scanbody, allowing for impression-taking without component removal and ensuring consistency between clinical, digital, and prosthetic data.
Clinical Results and Benefits Observed
Cas A – Central incisor 11
(loss due to periodontal disease)
Cas B – Central incisor 21
(advanced periodontitis)
Cas C – Central incisor 11
(fracture and acute infection)
In all three cases, the iPhysio® protocol enabled:
- Rapid and stable tissue healing
- Harmonious esthetic integration
- Fewer appointments
- Improved patient satisfaction
- Greater long-term predictability in esthetic zones
Conclusion
The iPhysio® protocol today represents a preferred solution for single-tooth implant rehabilitation in the anterior zone. By unifying the steps of healing, impression-taking, and prosthetic placement around a single anatomical component, it maximizes both esthetic and biological performance.
For practitioners seeking a reliable, reproducible method focused on tissue stability, adopting the iPhysio® protocol represents a true advancement in modern implantology.
