Title: Prosthetic Aspects of Implant Restorations in the Esthetic Zone”
Abstract: The Lecture will cover following subjects: "soft tissue conditioning with provisional (development of emergence profile), choice of implant abutment material (Titan versus Zirconium dioxide), choice of
retention type (screw versus cement retention) and the use of pink porcelain in extended edentulous esthetic sites (indication and how to use it)”. I
mplant therapy in the esthetic zone is considered an advanced or complex procedure that requires comprehensive treatment planning followed by a precise surgical and prosthetic workflow. This lecture will focus on the (fixed) prosthetic phase of implant dentistry; more specifically, it will address step-by-step the provisional phase of treatment (including development of the emergence profile with soft tissue conditioning), selection of implant abutment material, the choice of the retention type and the use of pink porcelain for the extended edentulous space. All aspects of the lecture will be presented with reference to contemporary literature.
