Treatment planning and surgical considerations for placement of wide-body implants.
Partially edentulous implant treatment has evolved from using a standard diameter fixture for every tooth site to selection of the implant diameter according to the surgical demands, space available, and the dimension of the final prosthetic tooth. The advantages are functional, improved emergence profiles for esthetics, and optimal contours for oral hygiene maintenance. This article reviews presurgical treatment planning for wide-diameter implants.
