Abstract

Successful single implant treatment in young adults

We as dental professionals aims to provide patients with implant reconstructions that are not only aesthetically pleasing and functional but also durable over time. Achieving this requires careful planning and execution, but also a clear understanding of long-term outcomes. Since treatment with single anterior implants is predominantly used in younger individuals with a long remaining lifetime the long-term aspect becomes even more relevant. Due to skeletal development and maturation along with passive eruption of adjacent teeth anterior implants tend to end up in infraposition with time. How much infraposition can we expect? What are the patients’ reactions to this phenomenon? How do we plan our treatments to minimize the risk of making this a problem for our patients? Nicole will, based on her long-term research on single anterior implants, discuss this topic.
