title: Anterior aesthetic considerations for the placement and restoration of nonsubmerged endosseous implants.
abstract: Nonsubmerged endosseous dental implants should be considered when planning optimal anterior implant rehabilitation. Detailed diagnostic records are a necessity, along with preoperative and preprosthetic treatment plans that are designed to address the unique challenges of anterior restorations. This paper discusses these concerns and presents two case reports which utilize some of the techniques that can be incorporated into achieving predictable anterior aesthetic rehabilitation using a single-stage implant. The learning objective of this article is to familiarize the reader with those challenges and techniques.
