Implants in the aesthetic zone: the keys to predictability and success

Dr. Tidu Mankoo, UK

This presentation will outline the contemporary surgical and prosthetic concepts in management of implants in the aesthetic zone with a view to achieving optimum long term aesthetics and stability. The emphasis will be on the clinical management and an understanding and application of the biological factors that influence our treatment outcomes. Management of bone, soft tissue and prosthetics contours all play a key part in the aesthetic outcome and long term stability of soft tissue aesthetics. An interdisciplinary approach is the key to optimal case management and this will be demonstrated by cases ranging single tooth management to complex multiple tooth restoration.

Participants will:
• Learn the key elements in the surgical & prosthetic management of missing and failing teeth in the aesthetic zone
• Gain an understanding of the biology of the peri-implant tissues
• Comprehend the behaviour of the bone & soft tissues in edentulous sites, post-extraction sites and around dental implants
• Learn the principles of bone and soft tissue management around implants and peri-implant defects
