Prosthetically driven implant placement: A simplified method for optimal emergence angle of anterior implants

Clemens Springer et al. J Prosthet Dent. .

Abstract

This clinical report addresses the challenge of achieving proper implant depth and emergence angles in the anterior zone. A simplified method is presented to guide implant placement based on prosthetic emergence contours. By calculating the required apicocoronal depth, this approach facilitates abutment selection, supports optimal tissue dimensions, and promotes long-term esthetic and functional outcomes.
