ABSTRACT
The replacement of a single missing anterior tooth with an implant-supported crown is a demanding therapy. This report describes a treatment in which an anterior maxillary implant was immediately restored with a provisional restoration. During the provisional phase, an optimal emergence profile was created by adjusting the provisional restoration. An impression was made with an individually fabricated impression post for an accurate reproduction of the established emergence profile and, finally, a screw-retained all-ceramic crown was placed. By implementing this protocol, an optimal definitive result could be achieved, together with immediate patient satisfaction.
ABSTRACT
Cefaclor, a broad-spectrum semi-synthetic second generation oral cephalosporin with documented activity against many grampositive and gram-negative pathogens, as well as some anaerobes has established a record of efficacy in the management of respiratory tract infections (RTIs). Despite over three decades of widespread use, it remains clinically effective in patients with RTIs, making it competitive with amoxicillin-clavulanate and with macrolides, and fluoroquinolones, including many newer agents used for RTIs. Factors contributing to the efficacy and tolerability of cefaclor include its molecular stability, activity against the most prevalent gram-positive and gram-negative respiratory tract pathogens, rapid absorption, >90% bioavailability and good penetration into respiratory mucosa. When compared to amoxicillin-clavulanate, it is much better tolerated with less gastrointestinal adverse events thus ensuring better patient compliance.
