Abstract:
A technique is presented to evaluate the angulation and position of an anterior single tooth root form implant by means of a surgical template, a pilot osteotomy, and an abutment guide. The space available for the restorative materials can be assessed and the angulation modified, if necessary, to improve the esthetic potential. If the angulation is satisfactory and sufficient room is available for the prosthesis, the surgeon can continue with implant placement at the initial site.
