“…The success of a single implant restoration in the esthetic zone depends mainly on the harmonious integration of the restoration into the patient's overall appearance, especially the peri-implant soft tissue 56. Both subjective (patients' ratings) as well as objective (esthetic scores and indices) assessment of implant esthetics are subject to growing interests,789101112 although there is no universally accepted evaluation criterion yet.…”

PURPOSEThe aim of this study was to assess the esthetic outcome of maxillary anterior single implants by comparing the esthetic perception of dental professionals and patients.MATERIALS AND METHODSTwenty-three patients with single implants in the esthetic zone were enrolled in this study. Dentists of four different dental specialties (Three orthodontists, three oral surgeons, three prosthodontists, and three periodontists) evaluated the pink esthetic score (PES)/white esthetic score (WES) for 23 implant-supported single restorations. The satisfactions of the patients on the esthetic outcome of the treatment have been evaluated according to the visual analog scale (VAS).RESULTSThe mean total PES/WES was 12.26 ± 4.76. The mean PES was 6.45 ± 2.78 and mean WES was 5.80 ± 2.82. There was a statistically significant difference among the different specialties for WES (P<.01) and Total PES/WES (P<.01). Prosthodontists were found to have assigned poorer ratings among the other specialties, while oral surgeons gave the higher ratings than periodontists, orthodontists, and prosthodontists.CONCLUSIONProsthodontists seemed to be stricter when assessing aesthetic outcome among other specialties. Moreover, a clear correlation existed between dentists' and patients' esthetic perception, thereby providing rationales for involving patients in the treatment plan to achieve higher levels of patient satisfaction.

“…In these cases the PES-scores were significantly lower with implant-implant interface being in average 7.4 compared to implant- tooth interface; being in average 11.6. However, according to the literature the threshold for clinical acceptability is ranging from PES ≥ 8 (15) and PES over 6 (16). …”

“…The PES scale has seven different variables including forms of papillas, soft-tissue level, soft-tissue contour, soft-tissue color, soft-tissue texture, and alveolar process deficiency and it is considered to be an accurate tool for evaluation of aesthetic success of implants placed in anterior maxilla (14). According to previous studies the threshold for clinical acceptability is defined as a PES ≥ 8 (15) or PES over 6 (16). …”

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to assess changes in bone volume after block bone augmentation and placement of dental implants and further evaluate the aesthetic outcome of the treatment.Material and Methods9 Patients with atrophied anterior maxilla were included in this study. They received total of 21 implants. Dimensions of the alveolar ridge were measured from cone-beam computed tomography x-rays. The bone level at the implant sites was analysed from intraoral x-rays and the aesthetic outcome was assessed from clinical photographs using a pink aesthetic score (PES) scaling.ResultsThe mean gained horizontal bone width at the marginal crest and 5 mm apically was accordingly 2.7mm and 5.0 mm. The mean PES rating was 9.8/14. The survival rate of.ConclusionsReconstruction of the atrophied anterior maxilla with bone blocks and dental implants is a safe procedure with high survival rate and acceptable aesthetic outcome. Key words:Dental implants, aesthetic region, corticocancellous bone grafts, pink aesthetic score, survival rate.

Objectives: To assess the vertical discrepancy between implant-supported crowns and adjacent teeth in the maxillary anterior region at least 8 years after implant placement and to evaluate the influence of this discrepancy on the level of aesthetic awareness of patients. Material and Methods:The sample consisted of 23 adult individuals evaluated at least 8 years after placement of an implant-supported central or lateral single toothfixed partial denture. Patients had their crowns delivered at a mean age of 47.8 years (range: 18.9-65.8). The vertical discrepancy was measured by comparing initial and follow-up periapical radiographs using the implant as a stable structure. The patients' satisfaction with their anterior teeth condition and awareness of the possible vertical problem were evaluated using a questionnaire. The aesthetic outcome and patient awareness were related to the objective measurement of the vertical discrepancy. Results:The implant showed a mean infraocclusion of 0.62 mm (range: 0.15-1.63 mm).The vertical discrepancy was not associated with the patient's gender, age at implant placement, and duration between initial and recall radiograph. Patients were generally satisfied with the long-term aesthetic outcome of their smile (mean: 3.9 on a 1-5 scale, 1 unsatisfied, and 5 completely satisfied). Out of 23 patients, 8 noticed the implant infraocclusion and 4 of them found the problem severe enough to be willing to improve the situation. The amount of vertical discrepancy was not associated with the patient's perception of the discrepancy and the pink aesthetic score. Conclusion:Implant-supported crowns in the anterior region may suffer infraocclusion over the long term. The amount of vertical discrepancy was not dependent on the gender and age of the patient. Patients were generally satisfied with the aesthetic result of the restoration. The amount of vertical discrepancy, at least in the range we have measured, was not perceived by the patients as a complication.
