Implant rehabilitation of central incisor: a staged approach.

The aim of this report is to demonstrate the outcome of implant rehabilitation in the anterior maxilla. Aesthetics in implantology results from the correct execution of many rehabilitation phases: presurgical planning, surgical and prosthetic phases, and case management. In the presurgical phase, preexisting anatomical conditions and prosthetic evaluations influence the choice of regenerative techniques. Correct presurgical planning, in order to realize surgical and prosthetic procedures, is the most important phase to obtain an aesthetic result. Only a successful anatomical correction of hard and soft tissues is able to assure a satisfying therapeutic achievement involving many operative steps and the rigorous observance of recovery timing. A guided bone regeneration technique with a staged approach was used in conjunction with implant replacement.
