14AAP-FCE06: Adjacent Implants in the Esthetic Zone

Sunday Session

Program Track: Implants

Moderator: Gregory J. Conte
Speaker: Tristan Staas

Currently one of the biggest challenges in implantology is the placement of adjacent implants in the esthetic zone. The limiting factor for the ideal and harmonic esthetic result is the soft tissue, especially the interproximal papilla. The dimension and long-term stability of the soft tissue depends on the volume and level of the bone around the head of these implants. This lecture addresses the influence of the 3D implant-to-bone position on bone stability and bone regeneration.
