Implant Prosthetic Integration in the Esthetic Area

Learning Objectives:

This lecture will explore clinical considerations and indications for dental implants, focusing on their application in esthetic implant-prosthetic rehabilitation through an evidence-based approach. Critical biological factors influencing peri-implant soft tissue integration will be discussed as fundamental esthetic parameters supported by the latest research and clinical studies. Key topics will include risk assessment, comprehensive treatment planning, biological implications, and esthetic/prosthodontics tailored to diverse clinical scenarios. Scientific evidence will guide recommended planning steps and treatment protocols to ensure predictable and successful outcomes. Modern implant prosthetic restorations, utilizing advanced implant designs and cutting-edge digital technologies, demand seamless esthetic integration with the existing oral environment. Achieving a harmonious scalloped gingival contour, well-defined papillae, and uniform clinical crown lengths between anterior implants is essential.

Abstract:

By the end of this lecture, participants will be able to:

• Understand current trends and evidence-based practices in esthetic implant dentistry.
• Evaluate risk factors to inform precise and effective treatment planning.
• Expand treatment options using a selective, evidence-driven approach to enhance clinical outcomes.
