Introduction

Over the past decade, one of the biggest challenges in implant dentistry has been the development of peri-implant gingival esthetics, particularly in the anterior maxillary region. Periimplant esthetics is defined as the presence of harmonious gingival architecture around the implant restoration and the surrounding dentition. This day program is designed to take the mystery out of the anterior implant.
