Abstract
Managing Challenges in Smile-Zone Implant Restorations.
In order to achieve a natural-looking result of artificial implant restorations, one must analyze the operative site and plan for a long-term healthy integration of the restorative complex and the implant fixture within the surrounding living tissues.
At the smile zone our primary goal is also to obtain a natural-looking peri-implant soft tissue embracing a natural-looking functioning crown.
The accumulated insights over the last 40 years on bone and tissue response (and alterations) around implants, enable biologic-based implementation of different surgical and restorative approaches, so that the abutment-crown complex has more chances to blend in with the surrounding tissue and the dentition in complete health and harmony.
In this presentation, surgical and restorative approaches will be explained through clinical cases, to enable a comprehensive understanding of the present limitations and the various options available today to maximize the successful results of implants-based restorations, especially at the smile zone.
