“…Achieving a long-term esthetic result starts with comprehensive team case planning prior to surgical intervention and a restorative-driven approach. [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] A patient's presurgical implant evaluation in the esthetic zone should include an initial visit to establish a diagnosis and prognosis based on a comprehensive examination of the patient's medical, dental, and compliance history, including their periodontal and restorative needs. Diagnostic casts and necessary radiographs may include cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) to evaluate important anatomical landmarks, 57,58 skeletal relationships, and bone availability to aid in careful presurgical planning.…”

This systematic review was performed to address the focus question: "In adult patients with soft tissue deficiencies around maxillary anterior implants, what is the effect on esthetic outcomes when a soft tissue procedure is performed?" In addition, this paper reviews the importance of presurgical esthetic risk assessment (ERA) starting with comprehensive team case planning prior to surgical intervention and a restorative-driven approach. Materials and Methods: A thorough Medline database search performed on related MeSH terms yielded 1,532 titles and selected abstracts that were independently screened. Out of the 351 abstracts selected, 123 full-text articles were obtained for further evaluation. At each level, any disagreements were discussed until a consensus was reached. Results: A total of 18 studies were included in this systematic review of esthetic outcomes following soft tissue procedures around implants with soft tissue deficiencies. A preliminary analysis of the included studies showed that the vast majority were case series studies with most not providing objective outcomes of their results. Moreover, only one randomized controlled trial was identified. Therefore, quantitative data analysis and subsequent meta-analysis could not be performed. The included studies were grouped according to the intervention on the peri-implant soft tissue performed and six groups were identified. The periodontal procedures performed around dental implants gave initial good results from the inflammation involved in wound healing, but in virtually all cases significant recession occurred as healing resolved and the tissues matured. Conclusions: Although success of implant therapy is similar in the anterior maxilla and other areas of the mouth, the majority of studies evaluating this therapy in the esthetic zone are lacking literature support, few in number, devoid of long-term follow-up and number of patients, and are subject to inclusion bias. The use of the ERA tool for all esthetic zone cases can benefit both the clinician and the patient to avoid any miscommunication and problems of expectation upon completion. All the available knowledge on this topic, including the approaches described in this paper, is based on a very limited literature support and thus should be addressed with caution. These concerns should encourage long-term good clinical trials for better assessment of those issues. Int J Oral

“…4 Various factors govern optimal planning and ultimate positioning of an implant intraorally that range from restorative, esthetic, or surgical factors. 16 The fabrication of an implant prosthesis is an interlinked process that begins with an accurate replication of the implant position. 17 Post-acquisition of the scan body image, the dental CAD software uses an alignment algorithm like the best fit algorithm to align the scanned image with the scan body CAD file or its manufactured 3D rendering to orient the implant analog in the virtual dental model.…”

Purpose Implants placed at variable depths may vary the amount of visible scannable surface of a scan body. Intraoral scanner technology uses advanced optical principles to record the surface of the scan body to accurately capture the implant position. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect implant placement depth has on the accuracy of digital implant impressions using an intraoral scanner. Materials and methods A partially edentulous gypsum master model was fabricated to allow the positioning of a single implant analog at different depths. Four groups were created based on the planned implant depths of 7, 6, 3, and 0 mm and corresponding visibility of the scan body at 2, 3, 6, and 9 mm. The model was digitized with a laboratory scanner for the reference scan and with an intraoral scanner to generate 15 test scans per group, with a total of 60 scans. The test scans were superimposed onto the reference scan using the best fit algorithm to analyze and measure the positional (dXYZ) and angular deviation (d⍬) of the scan body using three‐dimensional metrology software. Statistical analysis was performed using a one‐way ANOVA and pairwise comparison was done with a Tukey‐Kramer HSD test (α = 0.05). Results The one‐way ANOVA of the groups for the dXYZ and dθ parameters was statistically significant (F3,56 = 11.45, p < 0.001, F3,56 = 24.04, p < 0.001). Group D (9 mm) showed the least positional deviation at 38.41 μm (95% CI 30.26; 46.56) and the least angular deviation of 0.17° (95% CI 0.12; 0.21). Group A (2 mm) showed the greatest positional deviation of 77.17 μm (95% CI 65.23; 89.11) and greatest angular deviation of 0.84° (95% CI 0.65; 1.03). The positional and angular deviation increased with increased implant depth. Conclusions The accuracy of digital impressions is influenced by the implant depth and the amount of visibility of the scan body. The trueness and precision are highest when the implant is placed at 0 mm depth with complete visibility of the scan body and decreases with subgingival implant placement.
