title: "What is the single most important aspect of implant dentistry"?
abstract: The world of implant dentistry is exciting and challenging. We are all on the great learning curve of excellence. With careful planning, and knowledge of the anatomical structures which are missing, we have in our hands the ability to create reproductions which are indistinguishable from nature. Remember, the tooth is the goal, not the implant!
