Summary:

Implant Dentistry has evolved dramatically since it’s inception as an anchor for the fully edentulous patient population. Today, more than ever, implants are being utilized for the partially edentulous patient as segmental or single tooth replacements where long term function and esthetics are of prominent importance. The dental implant specialist must therefore attempt to work backwards from the restorative-esthetic final goal of therapy to the beginning of the case where the initial decisions are being made. Restorative driven implant based decision making by the surgeon will lead to the correct augmentation and implant selection for the specific needs of the patient. This "reverse pathway" approach is the protocol featured in this article to achieve excellent results and avoid complications.

Comprehensive Management of Implant Anchorage in the Multidisciplinary Patient
In recent years, dental implants have become an accepted method of replacing missing teeth. Today millions of implants are placed annually to rehabilitate and reestablish patients’ occlusions. However, in many of these individuals, the teeth may be in less than ideal position to accept the integration of single implants or groups of implants with the remaining teeth. Many of these patients could benefit from orthodontics to reposition malposed teeth to enhance the overall occlusal scheme. However,…

Implant Aesthetic Score for Evaluating the Outcome
Implant restorations delivered according to the Brånemark protocol have proven to be highly predictable. To shorten the length of treatment associated with the Brånemark protocol, as well as to preserve soft and hard tissues, newer protocols have focused on reducing or even eliminating the time between tooth extraction and implant placement and between implant placement and prosthetic restoration delivery. The authors present a case in which control of postextraction implant placement, optimal implant…

Advantages of the Root Submergence Technique for Pontic Site Development in Esthetic Implant Therapy
This article suggests a strategy to provide a more predictable protocol for esthetic implant treatment for multiple- tooth defects using the root submergence technique (RST). The RST maintains the natural attachment apparatus of the tooth in the pontic site, which in turn allows for complete preservation of the alveolar bone frame and assists in the creation of an esthetic result in adjacent multipletooth- replacement cases.
