PREDICTABILITY IN DENTAL IMPLANTS IN THE AESTHETIC AREA

Abstract

Predictability in dental implants in esthetic areas is essential to ensure satisfactory clinical outcomes and meet patients' aesthetic expectations. This article explores the key factors that affect this predictability, including initial planning, implant selection, and soft tissue management. In addition, advanced technologies, such as digital planning and guided surgery, which have contributed to increasing the precision of treatments, are addressed. Bone and gum maintenance techniques, as well as the importance of gingival biotyping and the management of patient expectations, are also discussed. Finally, the article highlights the strategies needed to ensure the aesthetic and functional longevity of implants in high-visibility areas.
