Abstract
There is increased awareness of and demand for esthetics in traditional restorative dentistry as well as implant-related care. Predictable delivery of highly esthetic, naturally appearing implant restorations is dependent on a host of factors, some of which are hardware-based and some of which are related to the morphology and tissue quality of the proposed implant site. An organized approach to patient evaluation and treatment planning by the implant treatment team will improve recognition of these factors of esthetic significance and will facilitate the development of strategies to achieve esthetic excellence on a more predictable basis. The ability to achieve harmonious, indistinguishable prosthesis from adjacent natural teeth in the esthetic zone is sometimes challenging. Placement of dental implants in the esthetic zone is a technique-sensitive procedure with little room for error. Guidelines are presented for ideal implant positioning and for a variety of therapeutic modalities that can be implemented for addressing different clinical situations involving replacement of missing teeth in the esthetic zone. This presentation will highlight the concepts and guidelines for predictable success in implant therapy
