Today, limitation of implants esthetic achievements in various aspects is being cleared. Regarding this background, there are some important points that we have to consider before starting treatment in the anterior region,

Height of Interdental papilla is going to come down, because bone resorption occurs biologically and makes gingival height lower to apical.

So I consider that implant have to be placed with considering position and preservation of interdental papilla, and soft tissue and hard tissue have to be augmented with considering biological and esthetic.

And we can see some research report regarding Platform Switching taht shows us this concept prevents bone resorption, and there area clinical cases.

Although scientific evidence seems to be not enough yet, I am interested in this concept.

Regarding prosthetic parts material, there are some short-term clinical research reports that show us good esthetic result and good stability of soft tissue in the anterior region with using Zirconium abutment, comparing with conventional abutment.

So I would like to share clinical case, single tooth treatment in the anterior region, with considering above concept.
