Implants placed in
such sites lead to :
Diagnosis - Clinical Evaluation
Labial or Buccal plate deficiencies - Single tooth sites
! Ridge lapped restorations
! Hygiene is made more difficult
! Esthetics is compromised in patients
with a high smile line who display
significant amounts of gingiva
! Esthetics is compromised because
most such patients lack an
interdental papilla (arrow)
Bone augmentation for building the site
Horizontal Deficiencies
Woven Bone
Biomechanical guidelines:
1. Crown/implant ratio should not exceed 1:1.
2. Implant single crown should not extend lateral to the implant more
than one implant diameter. Narrow occlusal table, using two implants
or wide diameter implant are methods to compensate for potential
overload. (Rangert et al. Forces and moments on Branemark
implants. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 1989)
Treatment Planning
Restorative Design
Biomechanical considerations: Especially mandibular first molar
sites should be carefully studied, since mesio-distal distance is
usually over 10 mm.
M-D distance measures about 12mm in this
case. Placement of a wide body implant (5
mm diameter instead of 4 mm) along with
narrowing the occlusal plane is intended to
compensate for overloading.

Surgical Placement
Faulty incisocervical/occlusocervical implant position
This implant has been placed too far
beneath the gingiva.
Result: The depth of the peri-implant is
excessive leading to an increased risk of
peri-implantitis and progressive bone loss
around the implant.

Light centric contact was established while excursive contacts were avoided.
Ideal position of the implant created natural emergence profile which lead to
natural gingival and tooth esthetics.

The UCLA abutment is utilized to fabricate the custom cement-on abutment in the
desired form. Once the custom abutment is screwed and torqued onto the
implant, the screw access hole is sealed with gutta percha. Then the PFM is
cemented permanently in the conventional way.
