In this video, Prof. Ziv Mazor demonstrates the replacement of congenital missing lateral incisor with a narrow platform implant.
Congenital missing teeth is also discussed in these prior posts: Congenital hypodontia: treatment suggestions?, Limited surgical space and increase restorative space: thoughts?.
An interesting study of 18 subjects with congenital missing teeth concluded that:
“Oral rehabilitation with implant-supported prosthetic constructions seems to be a good alternative in adolescents with extensive aplasia, provided that craniofacial growth has ceased or is almost complete.”1

Nice work. but I think for immediate loading . The stability of implant should be measured before the insertion of the provisional crown.
thank you for your video I think the implant is too long and not in between the two teeth and when we have good interdental papilla the papilla saving incision is better.
