Aesthetics - Hard And Soft Tissue Considerations In Implant Therapy.

      Аннотация: Dental Implants are considered to be an important contribution to dentistry as they have revolutionized the way by which missing teeth are replaced with a high success rate.This success depends on the ability of the implant material to integrate with the surrounding tissues.The tissue that surrounds the implants is known as peri-implant tissue and is comprised of the soft (mucosa) and hard (bone) tissues. This integration is influenced by several factors, such as implant material, bone quality and quantity, and the implant loading condition.The long term success of esthetic restorations depends on several factors like gingival biotype, architecture of the gingival tissues and shape of the anterior teeth. The gingival morphology plays an important role in determining the final esthetic outcome. In addition, an intimate contact between the peri-implant bone and the implant surface, known as osseointegration should be achieved and maintained for the success of any implant system.In this book we shall concentrate on the various factors dictating the success of implants.
