Techniques for Success With Implants in the Esthetic Zone

In the aesthetic zone, an implant that works is not enough: if the smile does not convince the patient, the case has failed. Happe and Körner work through the complete treatment of the anterior region, from the biological basis and planning to surgery and prosthetic restoration, drawing on extensively documented clinical cases. Central to it are the microsurgical procedures for hard and soft tissue augmentation and periodontal plastic surgery, together with the aesthetic analysis of implant position and that always delicate decision between keeping the tooth and extracting it to implant. Clinical photographs and diagrams follow every step, from the simplest to the most demanding, through to the peri-implant interface and the suprastructure.
