Abstract:
As the knowledge base in the demanding realm of esthetic management of anterior implant sites continues to expand, there exists a void in the literature on solutions to accelerate posterior implant protocols. This article proposes a new protocol using the anatomic harmony abutment for immediate molar implant placement. This technique preserves the anatomic emergence form with sutureless implant site sealing and improves the predictability of final restoration fabrication and delivery. The purpose of this report is to describe this concept and its numerous benefits to patients, surgeons, laboratories, and restorative dentists.
