Single implants in the esthetic zone Flashcards
_____ _____ _____ table was developed to assist clinicians in the diagnosis and planning of treatment
in the esthetic zone and to identify clinical situations that could contribute to an esthetic
compromise.
esthetic risk assessment table
How does the shape of the anterior tooth crowns determine the esthetic risks of the denatl papilla
rectangular crowns = flat papilla less risk
tapered (triangle) crowns= scalloped papilla = greater risk
What is the preferred gingival phenotype?
thick scalloped
t/f: When a single maxillary anterior tooth is replaced with an implant, one has to expect a soft tissue shrinkage of 0.6 mm buccally after 1 year.
true
t/f: Immediate provisional restorations at the time of immediate implant placement preserved 1 mm more facial gingival margin position compared with the delayed group.
true
t/f: when designing an implant, it is important to take into account the gingival phenotype in comparison to the implant material. If thin phenotype with titanium implant, there may be a dark gray visual of the gums.
