[Basckground]This case report presented a methodology for immediate implantation in the esthetic zone with a facial bone defect along with flap surgery,guided bone regeneration,and non-submerged healing.[Case presentation]A 27-year-old female patient was complaining of the aesthetic complication that was caused via metallic staining of the neck of ceramic crowns in the maxillary right anterior region for one year.She has experienced immediate implantation along with flap surgery,guided bone regeneration(GBR),and non-submerged healing.The torque of the implant reached to the 35 N·cm to confirm primary stability.Six months after surgery,the healing abutment and the implant were fixed,the gingiva was healthy in the surgical area,and the nearby teeth and the opposite teeth were normal.[Results]The results of cone-beam computer tomography(CBCT)revealed that bone defects were filled with the newly formed bone.At the same time,the final impressions accomplished,and an all-ceramic crown was fit-placed.As a whole,the patient satisfaction rate was high.[Conclusions]Immediate implant placement with flap surgery,GBR,and non-submerged healing with a facial bone wall defect in the esthetic zone is an achievable process.
