Underlining with several patient treatment examples, Dr Chiche and Dr Lasseigne lead through their guidelines and esthetic determinants for implant based restorations: Set incisal edge and profile, determine proportions, assess gingival levels, provide canine protection, plan moderate guidance, and determine vertical dimension. The lecturers discuss aspects of immediate and delayed implant placement, smile design, implant position and distribution in the esthetic zone, site development and soft tissue management, and review prosthetic steps such as wax-up, provisionalization and emergence profile development, final restoration design and material selection.
