Abstract

Since the early days of the discovery of dental implants, there has been a substantial paradigm shift from placing implants in edentulous ridges to rehabilitating the most complex cases in the aesthetic zone. The more implants are placed in the aesthetic zone, the more complications associated with this treatment protocol are developed. So, the need for documentation of aesthetic complications and definition of risk factors arises. Having enough information about advantages of the treatment modality, clinicians have to know its disadvantages correspondingly.
