   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.
