Management of an Esthetic Dental Implant Complication: A Case Report

The 3-dimensional positioning of a dental implant is a key factor in achieving an adequate esthetic result. If a dental implant is placed too far facially, especially in the maxillary anterior sextant, gingival recession can be expected, which eventually may lead to a compromised esthetic result. This clinical case report represents the surgical and prosthetic management of a 5 mm gingival rece...

Advanced dental implant placement techniques

The availability of in office Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scanners, dental implant planning software, CAD CAM milling, and rapid printing technologies allow for the precise placement of dental implants and immediate prosthetic temporization. These technologies allow for flapless implant placement, or open flap bone reduction for "All on 4" techniques with improved preoperative planning and intraoperati...
