Modern prosthodontic implications of dental implants in aesthetic zone: A review.

Abstract Objective: Assessment of dental implant placement with prosthetic rehabilitation in the anterior aesthetic zone. Background: Bone loss, periodontal disease and trauma affect both soft tissue and hard tissue. It is essential for any successful implant reconstruction to have an acceptable prosthesis and healthy surrounding soft tissue. Method: A collective information from reference articles were studied. Information about smile line, 3-dimensional placement of dental implant and prosthesis were evaluated. The concept of immediate implant with prosthesis in anterior aesthetic zone is also described. The pink aesthetic score is revised and its implementation is also explained. Results: Based on these analyses, a method is proposed for dental implant emplacement in anterior aesthetic zone. Compilation of the information can be used to guide the clinician for reconstruction of anterior aesthetics with dental implant Conclusion: This review article compiles the techniques of surgical and prosthetic restoration using dental implants. A 4D concept using time as a variable is an important tool for 3-dimensional reconstruction of prothesis with dental implant in anterior aesthetic zone. Application: Most applications of the above information mentioned can be used for a successful dental implant placement with prosthetic rehabilitation in anterior aesthetic zone
