title: Implants in the esthetic zone.
abstract: Over the last 15 years implant dentistry has made great progress. Especially in the anterior region, esthetics plays a vital role in treatment. Patients expect not only a fully functional restoration, but also an esthetically pleasing and long-lasting solution. A predictable and esthetic result can only be achieved by adhering to a proven clinical protocol, which is based on experience, precise diagnostic procedures, and meticulous treatment planning. This article presents a practical protocol used in the authors' practice for esthetic reconstructions with dental implants in the anterior region with four patient cases.
