Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving implant restorations with harmonious gingival contours that emulate nature requires a fusion of science and art. The clinician must understand the biologic and physiologic limitations of the soft and hard tissues to facilitate predictable outcomes in simple to complex esthetic situations. This book focuses on implant esthetic approaches encompassing orthodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, and laboratory techniques. It presents current implant treatment philosophies and methodologies for replacing missing teeth and for managing patients who are facing the loss of a tooth or teeth in the esthetic zone. Equal emphasis is placed on diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical and prosthetic management of soft and hard tissues for optimal anterior implant esthetics.
