Sascha Jovanovic: Back to basics: Diagnostics and treatment planning for anterior maxillary edentulism

Pink esthetics evolved since 1997 and is now standard of care through planned esthetic implant position and bone and soft tissue augmentation techniques. Dr Jovanovic reviews the parameters to achieve esthetic treatments in the esthetic zone and discusses aspects of the bony foundation, soft tissue management, safe biological distances, like implant to tooth / implant distances, biologic width and their integration in the diagnostic and planning procedure. Dr Jovanovic summarizes the 5 important themes for bone, soft tissue, implant health & esthetics: bone preservation and regeneration, implant surface, design and position, soft tissue thickness and quality, prosthetic tissue support, restorative emergence and material.
