Abstract:

The present state of implant dentistry coupled with the increase esthetic expectation of patients continually challenges the surgeon specifically when lack of soft and hard tissue is present in esthetically compromised zone. In this presentation, different techniques will be presented for bone and gingival reconstruction going from socket preservation to 3D autogenous bone reconstruction, using the biologic concept of bone grafting. Other techniques of soft tissue management, that go with bone grafting, will be presented to achieve an optimal esthetic results in the anterior region. Furthermore, an attention will be taken concerning the appropriate timing for implant insertion and implant loading after these kinds of reconstructions.
