Implant Position Planning

FIXED RESTORATIONS

SINGLE CROWNS

Single-crown treatment is a possible form of treatment under the aspect of

a “Restitutio ad integrum”. It contains all the beneficial elements of perio-

dontal prosthetic rehabilitation:

ESTHETICALLY CHALLENGING AREAS

To achieve an esthetically successful restoration, a number of important el-

ements are required: a harmonious gingival line, optimal implant position-

ing as well as vertical/orofacial and mesio-distal, a physiological crown

shape, and the presence of interdental papillae. The indications for the

hard-tissue configurations to be preserved and for soft-tissue management

must be observed during planning.

Structure-preserving or structure-sparing procedures must be used during

flap creation and implant placement. In addition, oral hygiene requirements

must be kept in mind during planning.
