Therapeutic alternatives for addressing pink esthetic complications in single‐tooth implants: A proposal for a clinical decision tree

Abstract: Objective Esthetic complications in implant therapy today represent a clinical challenge, when the aim is to overcome the sequelae and obtain a pleasing result. The current scientific literature about this topic is scarce and often based on case reports and the personal opinions of clinicians. Clinical considerations The aim of this article is to introduce a decision tree for diagnosis and treatment of complications, focusing on the pink esthetic of single‐tooth implants and based on three diagnostic pillars (… Show more

“…1,2 Most clinicians agree with the opin-ion that 3-D positioning is very important in acquiring esthetics, and iatrogenic malpositioned implants are the most challenging cases. 1 An unaesthetic implant resulting from an excessive depth of placement is challenged by the long-term continued facial tissue resorption to the point of biological stability. This causes soft tissue problems, such as recession, papillae deficiency, and insufficient volume.…”

“…Esthetic complications in implant therapy represent a clinical challenge when the aim is to overcome the sequelae and obtain a pleasing result. 1 In particular, it is very difficult to correct unaesthetic problems in malpositioned implants and single implant cases because the implant integrates imperceptibly with the surrounding hard and soft tissues. 1,2 Esthetic complications related to implant therapy can be characterized into several categories according to their origin.…”
