Esthetic restoration of a single-tooth implant using a precision ceramic coping. 1996

R D Trushkowsky

Staten Island University Hospital, New York, USA.

Previously, osseointegrated implants were used almost exclusively for edentulous arches. In recent years, the development of abutments has allowed more esthetic restorations of single and multiple abutments. The recent introduction of a precision ceramic coping for single-tooth implants has enabled the restorative dentist to achieve a highly esthetic result. Proper treatment planning, surgical-guide fabrication, and technique of placement for the various components are addressed in this article.
