Topic: Managing the Un-esthetic Single Tooth Implant in the Esthetic Zone: Restore, Retire, or Remove

Presenters: Dr. Gregg Kinzer and Dr. Jim Janakievski

Abstract:

Implants are a common part of almost every clinical practice and are being utilized in a variety of clinical situations. Unfortunately, patients often present for treatment that have existing implant restorations that are less than ideal. The clinical challenge is not only determining the etiology for the un-esthetic implant, but also how to best manage the situation with the treatment options that are available. This presentation will focus on the evaluation and management of patients with un-esthetic single tooth implant in the esthetic zone.

Objectives:

1. Evaluate the common etiologies of un-esthetic anterior single tooth implants.

2. Discuss the treatment options available for correction (removal, hard / soft tissue augmentation, orthodontics)

3. Illustrate the treatment protocols and sequencing in a variety of clinical cases
