  • Title: Predictable peri-implant gingival aesthetics: surgical and prosthodontic rationales.
    Author: Kois JC, Kan JY.
    Journal: Pract Proced Aesthet Dent; 2001; 13(9):691-8; quiz 700, 721-2. PubMed ID: 11862920.
    Abstract:
    Bone resorption following maxillary anterior tooth extraction is common and often compromises gingival tissue levels for the implant restoration. The creation of predictable peri-implant aesthetics requires proper understanding and preservation of the osseous and gingival tissue surrounding the failing tooth. This article addresses the various factors that affect the predictability of peri-implant gingival aesthetics in anterior single-tooth replacement. The surgical and prosthodontic procedures for maintenance of peri-implant aesthetics are also presented using an ovate pontic tooth on a removable partial denture following immediate extraction and implant placement.
