CLASS IV/IV IMPLANTS IN THE ESTHETIC ZONE

the aim

The use of implants for tooth replacement in the esthetic zone is still an enormous challenge in practice. The clinician must consider a wide range of different concepts and approaches, not to mention the controversy and disagreement in the literature surrounding the overabundance of different macro and micro implant configurations and wide range of different hard and soft-tissue replacement materials for the maintenance and stabilization of peri-implant tissues. In particular, there still is no conclusive answer to the question of which treatment protocol is more predictable: immediate implant placement while preserving as much peri-implant tissue as possible or delayed implant placement with the best possible reconstruction of missing hard and soft-tissue structures. Many of these questions which we will answered during this Class.
