Treatment guidelines

3D implant position

Key points

  • Placement of implants in a correct three-dimensional position will allow for optimal support and stability of peri-implant bone and soft tissues.
  • Placement of implants in a correct three-dimensional position is essential for a functional restoration.
  • Placement of implants in a correct three-dimensional position is essential for an esthetic outcome of restoration and surrounding tissues.

Single implants and their restoration
Anatomic Factors: When planning single implant restorations, those anatomical structures and features that might possibly impede implant placement should be carefully evaluated. These would include the morphology of the edentulous alveolar ridge, as it is important to place implants within the available bone and had have a portion of the implant located outside of bone. It is also important to determine proximity to the sinus as well as nerve or other vital anatomical structures.
