In this chapter we will deal with the treatment
of patients who have high expectations as far as the dental
restoration is concerned. The different steps in aesthetic
analysis will be shown as well as the technical execution
to achieve a natural looking restoration. Devotion to aesthetics
combined with technical skills will lead to aesthetical predictable
justified restorations. Aesthetics means more then just a
beautiful restoration. To take aesthetics in consideration
-the theory of beauty- the restoration has to be in harmony
with the soft tissue.
In implant prosthodontics, the age-old practice has been to
correct vertical defects by using extra-long teeth. The new
gold standard is to reconstruct artificial gingiva to look
deceivingly lifelike.
