Abstract:

Due to an incidence of 0.8-2% of uni- or bilateral agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisors in the general population, orthodontic space closure (OSC) with canine mesialization and recontouring or space opening and subsequent insertion of an implant-borne crown (IMP), are relatively frequent treatment procedures in modern orthodontics. Although scientific evidence regarding the superiority of one treatment modality over the other is inconclusive, a trend for OSC has been reported. The author will present an update on modern prerequisites for long-term implant and prosthodontic success, focusing on correct 3D-implant placement, on additional hard and soft tissue grafting, and on meticulous peri-implant tissue molding with provisional crowns. Two studies directly comparing OSC and IMP patients from the author�??s private office will illustrate the esthetic and periodontal outcomes in the short term and after a functional period of 5-10 years.
