Abstract:
One of the greatest challenges for implant placement in the maxillary anterior zone is not only the restoration of
function but also the esthetics. The reestablishment of a normal alveolar contour after implant placement is a critical
step in esthetic success. This important aspect consists of replacing the lost portion of the alveolar process and
associated soft tissue. It can be onerous to establish a balance between the tooth and the surrounding apparatus at
prosthesis - soft tissue interface. This case presents the implant placement aspect with an in-depth consideration of
positional parameters and post implant placement with consideration of soft tissue management and manipulation.
Thus, the final restoration fitted precisely and harmoniously with the natural and esthetic contours of the gingiva
and provided the esthetic results which both the practitioner and the patient were aiming to achieve. Hence, validating
use of this technique for suitable patients.
