Abstract:
To maximize esthetics in anterior implant restorations, the initial step in treatment planning should be determining the prosthesis's esthetic integration with the patient's smile in keeping with the patient's anatomical limitations. This article examines the role of the abutment in supporting both esthetics and technical success. Included are discussions regarding cemented versus screw-retained restorations, material selection for anterior tooth replacement, and design parameters.
