Abstract: | Immediate implant restoration has gained popularity in recent years due in part to technological advancements that use computed tomographic images to simulate the actual clinical situation. This computer-assisted simulation enables clinicians to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that can be precisely executed in a timely manner. In the aesthetic zone, however, a successful outcome requires more than merely accurate implant placement. This article discusses the significance of site development for aesthetic implant restoration and describes a computer-guided immediate pro visionalization procedure and its surgical and prosthodontic rationale |
