Esthetic Challenges of Implant-Supported Restorations: "All Ceramic Combined with Hard and Soft Tissue Augmentation"

Esthetic Challenges of Implant-Supported Restorations: "All Ceramic Combined with Hard and Soft Tissue Augmentation"
Modern dentistry strives for fixed restorations for edentulous and partially edentulous patients. The increasing patient demand for better esthetics and natural-looking restorations required an enhancement of conventional treatment options. Implant therapy optimized stability and retention of fixed restorations without compromising the residual dentition, leading to improved patient satisfaction and a higher quality of life. Due to their preferred optical and biological properties, all-ceramic materials assessed to be the ideal prosthetic material to fulfill the requirements of implant-supported restorations.
But the new materials and methods indicate the knowledge of different ceramic systems, new implant components and the interference to hard and soft tissue, before the incredible opportunities can be used by the dental practitioner successfully. Excessive alveolar bone atrophy or soft tissue defects often minimize the success rate of implant therapy and esthetic prosthetic results.
