Abstract
Implants vary in width, height, projection, volume, fill consistency, shell surface, and shape. Given the wide variety of implants that are available, selecting an implant that best suits a patient can be challenging. This article reviews the principles governing implant selection. Based on the authors' clinical experience, an algorithm for implant selection is proposed.Entities:
