Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to identify esthetic factors such as smile line, biotype and smile width as well as anatomic and functional factors and that can contribute to esthetics, function and overall success of dental implants in the anterior zone and evaluate ways of achieving successful outcomes. An additional objective of the book is also to look at potential complications that could occur in the anterior maxilla and ways of averting them by looking at results from a number of current studies on anterior dental implants. As a general dentist or specialist that is placing or restoring dental implants, this book would provide a valuable resource for treatment planning and replacing single anterior teeth with dental implants.
