Implant Prosthodontics in the Esthetic Zone: Where Are We Today?
Congress Lecture
Prosthodontic Planning and Procedures
This lecture illustrates several very well-documented cases of tissue-level (one-piece) implants placed in the esthetic zone with long-term follow-up. The advantages of tissue-level over bone-level (two-piece) implants are thoroughly explained.For stable long-term outcomes, the significance of placing the implants in the correct three-dimensional position and creating and maintaining a labial bone wall thickness greater than 2 mm by applying guided bone regeneration techniques is underlined. In this presentation, the author/speaker states that achieving absolute primary stability is less important with the use of implants that feature activated surfaces. The presenter advises against Type I (immediate) placement, even in cases with simultaneous grafting with a low-substitution material, to avoid increased osteoclastic activity generated by the extraction and the biologic necessity of bundle bone remodeling.
