Prosthetic design and Tissue Management from the perspective of Patient-Oriented Strategy

Abstract

Regarding anterior tooth defects, both patients and dentists are mainly interested in restoring esthetics. Loss of anterior teeth reduces tissue volume in most cases. Therefore, prosthesis-driven implant treatment that places the crown in an ideal position increases the importance of tissue management. Prosthetic designs may result in reduced surgical intervention and shorter treatment times. A patient-oriented strategy that fully considers the patient’s requirements is necessary during planning treatment. This report discusses tissue management that considers prosthetic strategies using cantilevers and gum prostheses.
