Implant Esthetic Restoration in Ridge Deficiencies in Cases of Trauma: A Case Report

Abstract

The long-term success of implant therapy does not depend solely on osseointegration, but the gingival architecture surrounding the implant system. It becomes very important to restore the gingival tissues in the areas that enhance one's esthetics. The esthetic zone can be defined as any dentoalveolar area of esthetic concern to the patient. The anterior maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone usually extend from first premolar to first premolar, but in some individuals can extend as far distally as the first molar. The patients requiring esthetic reconstruction at the site of trauma pose a great problem in implant placement and prosthetic restoration as scar tissue interferes with the same. To be successful, an implant-supported restoration should meet biological, mechanical, and esthetic goals. The most challenging situation is when esthetics is of prime concern in deficient ridge cases. This clinical report presents problems faced during implant placement and the sequential procedure to rehabilitate with an implant that was esthetically harmonized at the site of trauma.

“…A perda do elemento dentário pode ocorrer por diferentes causas, como fratura, carie ou problemas periodontais. A ausência dos dentes eventualmente gera dificuldade durante o convívio social e também problemas funcionais, dificultando a mastigação gerando um déficit Brazilian Journal of Health Review, Curitiba, v. 6, n. 3, p.12339-12346, may./jun., 2023 na eficácia mastigatória e problemas fonéticos, sendo assim é essencial a reabilitação bucal para devolver a qualidade de vida e eficiência mastigatória (SHARMA et al, 2011).…”
