Achieving anterior implant esthetics is a challenging and demanding procedure. To create implant restorations with harmonious gingival contour that emulate nature is a fusion of science and art. Understanding the biologic and physiologic limitations of the soft and hard tissue will facilitate predictability in simple to complex esthetic situations. This presentation will focus on current implant treatment philosophies and methodologies for replacing currently missing teeth and the management of patients who will be losing a tooth or teeth in the esthetic zone. Emphasis will be placed on the diagnosis and treatment planning, surgical and prosthetic management of soft and hard tissue for optimal anterior implant esthetics.
Hands-on Description: The hands on work shop is designed for both the specialist as well as general dentist on how to step by step chair-side provisionalize a single implant in the Esthetic zone after immediate implant placement. In additional, instructions will also be given on how to provide appropriate Esthetic prosthetic emergence profile for Esthetic cases.
