[Complete luxation with loss of the tooth: an implant case].

The purpose of this article is to report a possible use of dental implants in children. The immediate implantation of an aluminium artificial frialite root, is described in an 8 years old child following the complete avulsion with loss of her center incisor. Osteo integration and the surgical placement technique of the Frialite implant are reviewed. The selection of an implant and of the immediate implantation concept are also discussed in this article. This implant will either become functional as a prosthetic abutment or esthetic by filling the alveolus, as it avoids the formation of a concavity in the edentulous ridge.
