A multidisciplinary approach to enhance implant esthetics: case report.
Esthetic implant-supported restorations in the anterior maxilla present a number of clinical challenges to the dentist, including the need to preserve or restore the periimplant hard and soft tissue architecture around the implant site. In this clinical case report, two implant systems were used to restore two missing maxillary central incisors to make use of the physical properties in each system. Two different surgical protocols were used to place each implant, and the deficient alveolar bone was restored with an autogenous bone graft. After a detailed clinical evaluation, a comprehensive treatment plan was developed to address the unique demands of the patient. Both teeth were fully restored with esthetic, implant-supported, single-tooth restorations, and clinical results were recorded postoperatively.
