The use of a prosthetic template to maintain the papilla in the esthetic zone for immediate implant placement by means of a radiographic procedure

Implant placement in the esthetic zone requires precise preoperative diagnosis and treatment planning combined with excellent clinical skills. One of the most important factors needed to achieve an optimal esthetic outcome, in addition to the 3-dimensional (3-D) positioning of the dental implant, is...

Description
Summary:Implant placement in the esthetic zone requires precise preoperative diagnosis and treatment planning combined with excellent clinical skills. One of the most important factors needed to achieve an optimal esthetic outcome, in addition to the 3-dimensional (3-D) positioning of the dental implant, is to maintain or regenerate the interproximal papilla. This article describes a technique to fabricate a template that includes important aspects of rehabilitation in this area.
