Abstract:
Restoration of the anterior dentition using dental implants can be technically demanding. Loss of the supporting hard and soft tissue structures diminishes the clinician's ability to obtain optimal results. The use of gingival-colored ceramics offers on effective method of developing aesthetics when reconstructive surgery is not an option. This article describes the use of gingival-colored porcelain in creating a natural-looking, implant-supported fixed partial denture to replace compromised mandibular incisors.
