The advent of implant supported single crowns have helped a clinician to choose a conservative option of replacing a tooth. However, implant supported prosthesis are not absolutely indicated in all patients, especially when occlusion is not conducive. We present a case of an adult male patient who presented with a missing left mandibular second molar. The patient after thorough clinical and radiographic investigations consented for a implant supported prosthesis. Two relative non favorable conditions of the patient were overcome during the treatment. They included oral hygiene maintainence and occlusal equilibration to impart effective canine guidance for protecting the implant supported as well as the natural dentition.
