When it comes to implant restorations, so many details are summed up for the ideal esthetic result. Case selection, indications, implant selection and the surgeon’s technical skills are some of the key factors in the long term success of the treatments. However, when it comes to deciding on the size of the implant, positioning, correct placing, designing the guides for the surgery and provisionals, and choosing the right abutments, all these should always be prosthetically driven.
This brings the importance of pre-designing the esthetic part of the cases (prosthetics) way before the treatment begins. This will have a significant influence on the treatment planning.
To obtain such results, we need interdisciplinary team work. Every member of the team (including the specialists, lab technicians and the patient) should be aware of the treatment planning and the expected end result, right from the beginning. Considering all of the above is done correctly, a major condition for success is still “communication”. The key to esthetic excellence requires patient communication as well as the communication with the laboratory and the specialists from the beginning of the case right up till the end.
This becomes even more challenging if the team (dentist, specialists and the ceramist) do not physically work together in the same place.
The protocol that will be presented will improve the esthetic diagnosis, the interdisciplinary communication and the predictability of anterior esthetic implant restorations.
