Aesthetic considerations for posterior single-tooth implant prosthetics: a case study.

The initial research in dental implantology was performed on fully edentulous anterior mandibles, and the results were disclosed in 1982 at the Toronto Conference. Single-tooth implants have been developed since, and attention has focused on the aesthetic component. This article presents a case study of single-tooth implant prosthetics with the learning objective to enhance the knowledge of the single-tooth implant restorations.
