Dr. Alvise Cenzi presents a prosthetically driven approach to implant esthetics, from emergence profile design to implant position and ridge preservation at the time of extraction.
Achieving a natural appearance is the central objective when restoring implants in the esthetic area. This course presents a prosthetically driven planning sequence that begins with the desired restorative outcome rather than with surgical convenience.
Dr. Cenzi reviews the ideal emergence profile for implant restorations in the esthetic zone and explains how implant position should be determined by working backward from that restorative profile rather than the reverse.
The course also addresses ridge preservation, presenting criteria for choosing the appropriate protocol when a tooth is extracted in the esthetic area, in order to maintain the hard and soft tissue volume needed for a predictable prosthetic result.
