Objective Criteria: Guiding and Evaluating Dental Implant Esthetics

Objective criteria: guiding and evaluating dental implant esthetics.

concepts of tissue-integrated prostheses with remarkable functional advantages, innovations have resulted in dental implant solutions spanning the spectrum of dental needs. Current discussions concerning the relative merit of an implant versus a 3-unit fixed partial denture fully illustrate the possibility that single implants represent a bona fide choice for tooth replacement. Interestingly, w...

Safety and esthetics with CAMLOG® dental implants

Influence of tissue biotype on implant esthetics.

Implant dentistry has come a long way since 1981, with great improvements made to achieve primary implant stability and improve bone-to-implant contact. The focus has since shifted toward creating an esthetic restoration that is indistinguishable from natural teeth and is stable over time. This paper proposes a management triad that enhances soft tissue thickness around implant-supported restor...

Soft Tissue Considerations for Optimizing Implant Esthetics

O ur interrelationships with patients and colleagues are greatly tested when treatment planning in the esthetic zone. Patients today seek quicker approaches for achieving tooth replacement and esthetic results.1 Achievement of osseointegration, however, does not always correlate to a successful esthetic outcome. Frequently there is a balancing act between the oral plastic reconstructive implant...
