3D implant position
Key points
- Placement of implants in a correct three-dimensional position will allow for optimal support and stability of peri-implant bone and soft tissues.
- Placement of implants in a correct three-dimensional position is essential for a functional restoration.
- Placement of implants in a correct three-dimensional position is essential for an esthetic outcome of restoration and surrounding tissues.
Implant position considerations overview
Implant type and size should be based on site anatomy and the planned restoration. Inappropriate choice of implant length, implant diameter, implant neck configuration and surface properties may result in complications with surrounding bone, surrounding soft tissues and neighboring anatomical structures. Equally important is to place the implant of choice in the correct three-dimensional position. This will allow for optimal support and stability of peri-implant bone and soft tissues and is essential for a functional restoration and esthetic outcome.
Anatomical structures possibly encountered when replacing single teeth in the maxilla or mandible are the nasopalatine (incisive) canal/nerve, the nasal floor, the maxillary sinus, descending branches of the infraorbital nerve, the inferior alveolar nerve, the mental nerve and apical root convergence/root proximity of adjacent teeth.
Implant position must be considered three-dimensionally:
- the mesiodistal dimension: the implant body should not be closer than 1.5 mm to an adjacent root surface and not be closer to 3 mm to an adjacent implant;
- the orofacial dimension:
- anterior region: the implant shoulder is positioned 1 mm palatal to the point of emergence of adjacent teeth, aiming for at least 1.5 mm bone thickness at the labial side
- posterior region: the implant is positioned in the center of the future restoration, aiming for at least 1.5 mm of bone thickness at the buccal and palatal/lingual side
- the coronoapical dimension: the implant shoulder is positioned 3 mm apical to the emergence of the future restoration with an expected biologic width of also 3 mm, being the equivalent of 1 mm apical of the cemento-enamel junction of the contralateral tooth in patients without gingival recession.

Single implants and their restoration
Anatomic Factors: When planning single implant restorations, those anatomical structures and features that might possibly impede implant placement should be carefully evaluated. These would include the morphology of the edentulous alveolar ridge, as it is important to place implants within the available bone and had have a portion of the implant located outside of bone. It is also important to determine proximity to the sinus as well as nerve or other vital anatomical structures.
