Abstract

The aim of this paper was to identify factors significant to the use of single-stage dental implants in the aesthetic zone and discuss treatment considerations related to them. In view of available literature and clinical experiences, treatment outcomes associated with the use of single-stage Straumann implants (Institut Straumann AG, Waldenburg, Switzerland) in the aesethetic zone can be considered positive and predictable.
