A review of the functional and esthetic requirements for dental implants

Various Treatment Options for the Single Implant in the Mandibular Anterior Region

“…This has been reported to decrease crestal bone loss, preserve tissue height, and promote soft tissue health [32]. Vela-Nebot et al also reported dramatically less bone loss when using implant systems incorporating a narrower diameter of restorative components relative to implant diameter [33].…”

“…Inadequate facial bone is a common problem that can present itself at any time following extraction and often leads to a more lingual implant placement and an anterior ridge lap restoration [32]. In an attempt to avoid this situation, osseous grafting or regeneration techniques are used [42,43].…”

Two prosthetic crowns supported by a single implant in the esthetic zone

“…1 The presence or absence of papillary tissue between two neighboring teeth, 2 as well as one tooth and one or more implants, 3 has received major attention from clinicians in the last 15 years, since illing most of the interproximal gap with gingival papilla is key to achieving dento-gingival harmony. 4 Recovering the natural aspect of peri-implant anatomical traits is an ongoing challenge posed to the multidisciplinary team dealing with osseointegration. From an aesthetic perspective, prosthetic replacement is unpredictable in these clinical cases, particularly regarding peri-implant soft tissue contour.…”

Caracterización Morfométrica del Reborde Anterior de la Maxila Mediante Tomografía Computarizada Cone-Beam

“…Su posterior rehabilitación, es importante por ser un sector estéticamente visible (Nothdurft et al, 2008). Sin embargo, en general no sólo se pierde el diente, ya que la tabla ósea alveolar bucal del hueso maxilar con frecuencia también se fractura y colapsa durante la extracción dentaria debido a sus características anatómicas (Leblebicioglu et al, 2007), o bien, la altura y grosor de las tablas óseas disminuyen por la falta de estímulo o transmisión de fuerzas. Swart & van Niekerk (2008) sugieren que la opción más aceptable de tratamiento para reemplazar un premolar perdido es la colocación de implante, pero su colocación en un sitio de extracción reciente, no evita la remodelación y reabsorción ósea del reborde alveolar en su totalidad (Araujo & Lindhe, 2005).…”
