This presentation will review some evidence-based treatment options for restoring a missing anterior tooth. While there are 3 common options, it is sometimes challenging to pick one option over the other. A matrix will be illustrated to help the clinician come up with restorative solutions in the esthetic zone.
Educational Objectives:
- Evaluate objectively the various factors that are to be considered in deciding between a fixed restoration or natural teeth vs implants
- Plan cases for fixed bridges that can provide ideal outcomes in difficult situations
- Sequence of performing a single tooth implant in the esthetic zone.
