IMMEDIATE IMPLANTS IN AESTHETIC ZONE - SCIENCE MEETS PRACTICE

VIC clinic

The clinical effectiveness of dental implants treatment is well documented and shows excellent results regarding survival rate. Achieving an optimal esthetic result when replacing a single missing tooth with an immediate implant in the esthetic zone is a very demanding procedure even in this high technology time. Implant placement and different kind of bone and soft tissue augmentation procedures will be discussed in lecture.

  • Bone augmentation with immediate implants – xenograft or allograft ?
  • Soft tissue augmentation – substitutes (Mucoderm) and connective tissue graft
  • Socket preservation – biological rationale and long term results

Aim of this lecture is to discuss how to achieve predictable aesthetic results having different initial situations.
