Overview:

Achieving “ideal” aesthetics with implant supported single crowns is a major challenge. Various aesthetic scores have been developed to render assessments objective. However, there is often a disconnect between what clinicians and patients perceive to be “ideal”. The colour of teeth and soft tissues and the form of papilla have been shown to have most effect on patient satisfaction. Clinicians rely on technical support to achieve excellent tooth chacteristics - but the clinician maintains or develops papilla form. How this is best and most consistently achieved is both controversial and challenging. Various protocols relating to implant placement timing, graft utilisation, socket shielding, provisionalization and emergence profile development techniques, are advocated by researchers and opinion leaders alike. I have developed a protocol where papilla are preserved and emergence profile developed at the time of extraction, and delayed type 2 implant placement with no or minimal grafting is undertaken. This protocol involves less morbidity, fewer appointments and is significantly less expensive for the patient and less technique sensitive for the clinician.

Learning objectives:

1. Recognize the limitations of aesthetic scores

2. Recognize the efficiency, effectiveness and efficacy of current papilla preservation/restoration techniques

3. Critique a proposed alternative protocol for papilla preservation
