Implants

10 I I case report_ aesthetic placement implants1_2013 (Figs 18&19) and adapted to the mouth. Immediately after cementation, the in- terproximal areas were not fully filled by soft tissue (Fig 20). After some weeks, the integration of the implant restoration to the neigh- bouring teeth and the soft tissue was optimal (Fig 21). Aesthetic parameters were achieved for medium and pro- nounced smiling of the patient (Figs 22&23). The CBCT taken two years after rehabilitation shows the maintenance of an adequate buccal bone width which will ensure the correct position of the soft tissues over time (Fig 24). _Conclusion Patients nowadays demand less inva- sive surgery, the shortest healing time possible and optimal aesthetic results. Clinicians, on the other hand, are not only looking to satisfy their patients’ expectations, but also to obtain predict- able long-term results. Both needs can only be satisfied by performing accurate planning followed by an adequate exe- cution and by using implant designs and biomaterials that minimise the remodel- ling of the surrounding tissues._ implants_author info Dr. Albert Barroso Degree in dentistry and Master in Implantology from the Universitat In- ternacional de Catalunya/ Spain.
