Prosthesis of Intact Teeth and Implants in the Esthetic Zone

Abstract

To achieve satisfactory esthetic results in patients is an important challenge for dentists. To maintain esthetic results is difficult from the view of prevention of prosthesis collapse and of marginal tissue recession.
First, the dentist and dental technician deliver the final restorations that harmonize with the esthetic zone of the patient. Second, the dentist attempts to prevent marginal tissue recession after delivery of the final restorations. To maintain healthy gingival tissue is also difficult, so it is necessary to understand the natural features of tissue surrounding intact teeth and implants.
This article discusses differences between intact teeth and implants. The regeneration characteristics of supra-alveolar fiber apparatus surrounding the tooth and implant, also reveals the importance of the portion of penetrating mucosa that connects to the root or prosthesis directly. Some clinical approaches to the above issues are presented.
