Esthetics in Implantology

Esthetic implant therapy is an advanced treatment modality in today¿s field of implantology, aiming to achieve an ideal esthetic and functional treatment outcome within the alveolar ridge or the edentulous spaces. Esthetic implant therapy has become an integral part of modern implant dentistry, because it complements the overall results of oral implantology. Significant advances have been introduced recently, including novel techniques to develop or regenerate implant recipient sites by stimulating both hard and soft tissues and to reproduce healthy peri-implant tissue contours that resist mechanical forces and masticatory trauma.This dissertation is a compilation based of the available literature of surgical techniques and prosthetic options that are used in the treatment for implants in the esthetic zone.
