[Single teeth on Brånemark fixtures. A new esthetic approach. Presentation of a clinical case].

The reliability of the Brånemark implant system has been well documented. In addition, the technique has been employed in the anterior portion of the mouth with good cosmetic results. Fundamental to the success of these procedures is the multidisciplinary approach. The "Drilling Guide" is the outcome of an intimate relationship between members of the therapeutic team, this allows for the control of all parameters of aesthetics. The preparation of the prosthetic cradle by selecting splaying and eversion is presented as a new approach. The impression method is atraumatic and employs personalized unitary transfers. This leads to the required emergence profile and guarantees the optimum aesthetic result.

[Dental implants and bone grafts].

The reconstruction of an edentulous maxilla with bone graft is not a challenge. It is considered when the remaining bone cannot provide a firm anchorage for implants. The grafts are harvested from the ilium, the chin or the cranial vault. According to the case, the implants are placed either simultaneously or 6 months later after control with C.T. Scan. They are uncovered after another 6 month period, as in the usual procedure, and osseointegration is checked. The percentage of success on 24 operated cases seems at least equal to the regular cases without bone graft. Longer follow-up is needed for reliable statistics.
