Immediate Provisionalization of Single Unit Implants in the Esthetic Zone
Todd R. Schoenbaum, DDS, MS, and Peter K. Moy, DMD
This continuing education article provides guidelines for treatment planning and surgical template fabrication, hard- and soft-tissue requirements, selection of the implant and related components, determining primary implant stability, and designing a provisional restoration.

Trans-Sinus Dental Implants
Alexandre-Amir Aalam, DDS, and Alina Krivitsky-Aalam, DDS
This article discusses the use of trans-sinus dental implants as an alternative to zygomatic implants. They achieve adequate primary stability for immediate loading protocols, provide a good anterior-posterior spread, and reduce the overall time and cost associated with treating cases involving severely atrophic maxillae.

Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization Following Partial Extraction Therapy
Rick Ferguson, DMD, and Gregori M. Kurtzman, DDS
In this case, virtual planning is utilized to produce a s urgical guide and provisional restoration to facilitate single-visit immediate implant placement following partial extraction therapy.

A Digital Workflow for Single Unit Implant Restorations
Michael J. Boudreaux, DDS
Fully guided surgery may not be considered the standard of care yet, but in this author's practice, it is the bare minimum. Implant placement is made easy and completely predictable with this workflow because everything lies in the digital planning and the fabrication of the guides.

Anterior Tooth Replacement in an Adolescent With a High Smile Line
Hanno Venter, BDS, and Taha Akhtar, BDS
There are many challenges involved in restoring a single maxillary anterior tooth, but there are even more when it belongs to an older teenager with a high smile line who wants a dental implant. Recreating form and function should be our aim in restoring broken down or missing teeth, especially in the esthetic zone, but when implants are requested by younger patients, we must also do our due diligence in ensuring that their skeletal growth is complete before initiating treatment.

The Three Pillars of Successful Implant Planning
Melissa Seibert, DMD, MS
Precision, communication, and case acceptance are critical variables for success in implant treatment planning. Digital implant planning provides a means by which clinicians can optimize precision, facilitate interdisciplinary communication, and achieve case acceptance.
