Numerous details are indispensable to achieve an excellent esthetic result in implant dentistry. Among them is the increasing need for bone and soft-tissue augmentation in the esthetic area in both vertical and horizontal aspects. However, these grafts can be applied at different moments of the treatment according to the clinical situation. Immediate or delayed implant placement, socket preservation procedures and staged grafts and implant placement are the possible choices to rehabilitate the esthetic zone. This session will review the surgically related factors that can influence the outcomes of treatments in the esthetic zone.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Assess the esthetic risk in patients in need for implants in the esthetic area.
- Identify different moments for implant placement in relation to the extraction in the esthetic zone.
- Select clinical indications and techniques for immediate placement and tissue augmentation in the esthetic zone.
