The Single Tooth Implant: The Ultimate Esthetic Challenge by Daniel G. Pompa, DDS

The past few years have brought a paradigm shift, as guidelines for the surgical and restorative approach have changed dramatically. Reviewed are multiple approaches showing sequential planning which can result in highly successful outcomes. Fine tune your workup to create a result that is as close to a natural replacement as possible. Discussed are the latest advances incorporating evidence-based data as well as the use of 3D treatment planning as it relates to the diagnostic workup and the use of computer guided surgery. Multiple provisional options and/or interim prosthesis appliances will be reviewed to attain ideal esthetic results. Long term follow-up will be shown as it relates to these approaches.
