Ricardo Mitrani: Management of adjacent implants in the esthetic zone - a controversial dilemma

Treatment with multiple adjacent implants shows considerably more complexity in comparison to restoring with a single implant, especially in the esthetic zone. The lecture discusses the clinical scenarios which are important for treatment planning: healed vs extraction site, anterior or posterior zone, maxilla or mandible location, etiology of tooth loss, esthetic challenge. Highlighted by various patient treatment examples Dr Mitrani summarizes and rates aspects of risk management in the various scenarios, and reviews the influence of the etiology of tooth loss and of biometric identifiers on the treatment, influence of the 3D implant position on soft tissue architecture, predictability of soft tissue architecture, esthetic influence of the lipline, and restorative options.
