Synopsis:
Providing the aesthetic implant restoration for the implant patient has been the main focus of implantology for the last several years. The comparisons of the implant/ gingival complex to the natural tooth/gingival complex are significant, and play an important role in the successful aesthetics that can be achieved in single and multiple tooth implant restorations. Incorporation of basic periodontal/prosthetic principles into the Immediate Restoration procedure have provided the vehicle whereby realization of these goals can be achieved. This program will provide a comprehensive review of surgical and restorative principles necessary to predictably achieve aesthetics in single and multiple tooth implant restorations. The review will include ideal surgical stent design (The TempStent II™ method), minimally invasive implant placement, the immediate restoration of implants in single and multiple sites, and minimally invasive bone grafting techniques. Simplification of the entire implant surgical and prosthetic procedure is the main goal of this lecture. Multiple cases will be presented, with statistics presented on the success rate of over 2500 sites using the Immediate Restoration procedure compiled by the presenter.

• To maintain and sculpt natural soft tissue emergence profiles in the aesthetic zone.
• To maintain emergence profiles around dental implants in the aesthetic zone.
• To utilize appropriate abutment design and fabrication as a tissue sculpting and maintaining abutment.
• Blend minimally invasive surgical approaches with advanced cosmetic dentistry procedures.
