Preface

It has been ten years since the publication of the first volume of the Treatment Guide series that addressed single-tooth replacements in the esthetic zone. Today, a decade later, many more practitioners are routinely involved in providing patients with implant therapy, and the field has seen many advances.

Progress and developments in implant design, surgical techniques, and materials, abutment design and restorative materials, as well as patient evaluation add up to make this a timely moment to revisit single-tooth replacements in the esthetic zone. From the first consultation to follow-up and maintenance, volume 10 focuses on the treatment modalities and materials that implant dentistry has to offer today.

The Consensus Statements and clinical recommendations from the 5th ITI Consensus Conference are the starting point of this volume. They are followed by a detailed protocol for evaluation and treatment planning and execution for patients with esthetic needs who require single-tooth replacement with a dental implant.

Fourteen complex clinical case presentations form the core of this volume with step-by-step descriptions of procedures for achieving stable long-term esthetic outcomes. The aim is to support clinicians in their decision-making processes and in preventing complications.
