Conference summary
Rebuilding the best possible tissue support to implant restorations in the aesthetic zone is often challenging and may be achieved with different surgical techniques and timings.
A correct analysis of the base-line situation is mandatory to choose the treatment plan that best fits to the individual case. In this respect the team should be informed of the limitations and advantages of each surgical approach.
The presentation will try to outline why in many cases, presenting with important tissue deficiencies, multiple surgical steps, with increased treatment time, often represent the treatment of choice to achieve a more predictable outcome. When smaller defects are present reducing treatment steps and time may still be a viable and predictable option.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the complexity of the hard and soft tissue defect;
- Evaluate what is the most predictable surgical approach in the given clinical situation;
- Understand what are the limitations of faster and more simple surgical approaches.
