   Abstract:	Replacing frontal missing teeth is one of the greatest challenges in implant dentistry. The main prerequisite is excellent esthetics. Toothless area in the maxilla usually requires augmentation of the bone in order to achieve high quality esthetics. A patient, aged 21 years, presented with vertical fracture of tooth 11. After extraction the alveola was augmented with xenogenous bone implant Bio-Oss® (Geistlich Biomaterials, Switzerland) in combination with a resorbable membrane Bio-Gide® (Geistlich Biomaterials, Switzerland) in order to achieve satisfactory vertical and horizontal dimensions of the bone base that will be capable of receiving an implant. After 6 months a XiVE® implant (Friadent, Germany) 3.8 mm wide and 11 mm long was placed by a flapless procedure. Immediately, a zirconia abutment was placed on top of it and a temporary crown. After three months a zirconia final crown was cemented. Augmentation of the alveolar crest in the region of future implant placement is a method of choice for achieving high quality esthetics in the frontal region of the maxilla.

   Abstract:	In patients with vertical fracture of a central incisor we need to extract as soon as possible, when great esthetic problems start to appear and one wants to deal with them instantly. The best, but also most expensive solution is an implant. Implants do not require grinding of neighboring teeth, but esthetic requirements for the central incisor are the greatest. Bearing in mind that only 20% of patients have a low smile line, today’s implant dentistry there is no doubt that an implant will integrate, but how to answer to patients’ high esthetic demands? It is important to start with the treatment early, before an infection around the fracture develops. A careful extraction is required, with periotomes. In case a fracture occurs, the surgical procedure must be widened. After extraction remove the remaining periodontium completely. An implant should not be placed so that is compromises the buccal bone plate, it should be placed more palatinally what gives more stability and better conditions for immediate load. In cases of good primary stability the abutment should be placed immediately. The implant should not be too wide! That compromises the width of the aproximal bone and the nutrition of the attached gingiva, and thereb esthetics as well. Every removal of the abutment increases bone resorption and pocket formation so it should be reduced to a minimum. Attached gingiva should be sutured easily to the abutment. Plan the position of the final ceramic crown in advance, and form the attached gingiva accordingly. My experience is that in cases of immediate load one should always use narrow abutments, so that the crown and the abutment lie more closely to the attached mucosa. Crown-abutment interface should be in the upper third of the sulcus. One should model the crowns with slight overhanging that decreases the food traumatization by chewing

   Abstract:	Replacing a missing frontal tooth is a common case in prosthetic treatment of younger and older adolescents. Most frequent reasons are anodontia, trauma, great carious lesions, endodontic treatment and periodontal disease. When one frontal tooth is missing, Implantoprosthetic treatment is the treatment of choice in many situations, but some surgical, prosthetic and medical conditions should be fulfilled. Most important dental parameters are sufficient bone height and width, satisfactory distance to the neighboring teeth and favorable occlusal relationships. Since it is the visible part of the dentition, esthetics is the primary objective so a compromise between hygiene therapy is good cooperation between the surgeon and the prosthodontist, sometimes even orthodontist. The role of the dental technician is of great importance in providing optimal laboratory work, as well as the role of a periodontologist in preventing periimplantitis. This presentation shows a number of clinical cases of implantoprosthetic treatment of a missing frontal tooth.

   Abstract:	The success of the restorative treatment depends on the complete harmonic appearance. Contrary to the positive results in dental implantology, the surgical and prosthetic treatment of functionally and aesthetically impaired implants has only marginally been discussed in literature. Compared to the treatment of having gone wrong implants in the upper and lower lateral region corrections in the upper anterior region face the surgeon with even bigger difficulties. Besides the frequently necessary osseous augmentation in most cases, the mucogingival complex is to be harmonized respectively reconstructed. Often there is a lack of keratinized gingiva and there are disturbing cicatrice tracks and discolorations of the gingiva. Quite frequently, the mucogingival appearance is also unsatisfactory due to preceding operations and attempted plastic coverages. The aim of the presentation is to describe the successful treatment of an aesthetically and functionally impaired implant in the upper anterior region. The possibilities of hard and soft tissue transplantation techniques are discussed in detail.

   Abstract:	The current trend in dental implantology is to develop techniques that can provide function, esthetics, and comfort with a minimally invasive surgical approach. Minimally invasive one-stage flapless technique in maxillary anterior region is usually considered in conjunction with functional or non-functional immediate loading. In this report, a clinical case of using minimally invasive one-stage flapless technique for maxillary right incisor replacement with immediate non-functional loading is presented. A patient was a 21-year-old male with clinical and x-ray signs of a vertical fracture of the endodontically treated maxillary right incisor. After the tooth extraction, guided bone regeneration procedure was performed to prevent post extraction alveolus collapse and provide a better site for the future implant. After 4 months transmucosal surgical approach was used to insert a tapered implant. Location was determined on the basis of slice ortopantomogram x-rays and surgical drill guide was made for precise definition of implant site and angulation. The implant was immediately restored with final zirconium oxide ceramic abutment and temporary acrylic crown without any occlusal contacts. After a healing period of 6 months, the osseointegration was assessed with resonance frequency analysis (value 75.3) and considered adequate. The implant was then treated with the final fixed prosthetic restoration. The patient exhibited neither clinical nor radiologic complications throughout the 6 months period of clinical monitoring.
