Representative clinical case. A 45-year-old female (nonsmoker) with no history of periodontitis or other parafunctional tendencies received a 13-mm long and 3.5-mm diameter NobelReplace CC implant to replace the missing first premolar tooth in the maxilla (FDI position 14). The bone at the insertion site was assessed as hard (quality 2), and the final insertion torque was 45 Ncm.

Clinical images (left panels) and radiographs (right panels) acquired at indicated time points reveal healthy hard and soft tissue responses, accompanied by a visible improvement in esthetics
