Abstract
When patients who come to us have lost anterior teeth, their main concern is esthetic recovery. In the clinical reality of most anterior tooth loss cases, the remaining hard and soft tissues are insufficient to achieve an optimal esthetic result. This deficiency can be even more visible in multiple tooth loss cases. For both the patient and the practitioner to be esthetically and clinically satisfied with the results, it is first necessary to establish a clear treatment goal and then to manage peri-implant hard and soft tissues according to that goal. This paper will discuss the selection of appropriate treatment goals as well as clinical cases demonstrating three dimensional hard tissue management with GBR and soft tissue management for crown-bridge types of superstructures.
