title: Maxillary anterior implant treatment: a protocol for aesthetic success.
abstract: This case represents how predictable results can be obtained in a difficult situation if a tried-and-true protocol is closely followed. An atraumatic surgical technique, followed by controlled healing through correct implant placement and the use of a custom-healing abutment, set up the success of the soft tissue component of the case. Meticulous laboratory communication, combined with correct restoration selection, was the final step in the creation of lifelike results.
