Treatment planning of implants in the aesthetic zone

Team treatment planning for the replacement of esthetic zone teeth with dental implants.

Implant therapy requires comprehensive preoperative planning and precise surgical execution based on a restorative-driven approach. Implant surgical demands in the esthetic zone require that the surgeon treating has extensive surgical experience in a variety of areas. Using a "team" approach to treat such cases allows the patient to receive care similar to the "medical model," in which each mem...

Immediate non-occlusal loading of single implants in the aesthetic zone: a randomized clinical trial.

AIM this study compared the outcome of immediate non-occlusal loading with conventional loading for single implants in the maxillary aesthetic zone. It was hypothesized that immediate non-occlusal loading is not inferior to conventional loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS sixty-two patients with a missing maxillary anterior tooth were randomly assigned to be treated with an implant that was either...

Aesthetic perception of single implants placed in the anterior zone. A cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND Several aesthetic indexes have been described to assess implant aesthetics. The aim of this study was to compare the aesthetic assessment made by dental professionals and students of single-tooth implants placed in the upper incisors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional survey study using a subjective questionnaire to assess the aesthetics in 3 implant supported single-tooth ca...

Aesthetic zone challenges: severe anterior wear, part 3: restoratively driven interdisciplinary treatment planning.

Single implants with different neck designs in the aesthetic zone: a randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVES To compare single implants in the aesthetic zone with different neck designs for marginal bone-level changes and clinical outcome measures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-three patients with a missing anterior tooth in the maxilla were randomly assigned to be treated with an implant with a 1.5 mm smooth neck ("smooth group"), a moderately rough neck with grooves ("rough group") or a ...
