Summary:
It has been well established that osteointegration of a dental implant is one of the fundamental components for successful implant therapy. A vital portion of this process is ascertainment of the appropriate prosthetic tooth position from which the ideal dental implant position is dictated within the alveolar bone. I It is equally imperative that prosthetically gUided implant positioning be accomplished for predictable attainment of functional, aesthetic, and hygienically maintainable restorative outcomes. Another equally important component is the capture of the intraoral three-dimensional position of the dental implant fixtures, the associated peri-implant tissues, and the exact transfer of this informa tion to the laboratory model. This is particularly critical when fabricating a superstructure or fixed partial framework costing " This is also important when fabricating on implant-supported fixed partial denture (FPDl, since any inaccuracies in the transfer of information from the patient to the laboratory can lead to the fabrication of a non passive fitted costing and/or a costing that rocks when secured 5 Either of the aforementioned conditions will result in noncompressional forces that will be detrimental to the long-term success of the prosthesis.

Immediate Loading of Bilaterally Splinted Titanium Root-Form Implants in Fixed Prosthodontics
A load-free healing period has been advocated as a prerequisite to achieving osseointegration. This article reports two cases in which immediate loading of a specially designated additional or "expendable" set of titanium root-form implants was successfully utilized to support provisional fixed restorations in the maxilla and the mandible. This immediate-loading protocol is suggested as a reliable adjunctive therapeutic modality for offering implant patients access to fixed interim restorations…

Optimizing Tissue Esthetics of Single Tooth Implants
The most critical factor in achieving exquisite esthetics around single tooth anterior implants is management of the gingival tissues. Beginning with treatment planning and evaluating the existing tissue and bony architecture we can set the stage for success. With optimized planning, precise placement of the fixture, and the use of laser technology to reduce tissue trauma we can minimize the bone and tissue changes during the surgical phase.

Optimizing Tissue Esthetics of Single Tooth Implants
With optimized planning, precise placement of the fixture, and the use of laser technology to reduce tissue trauma we can minimize the bone and tissue changes during the surgical phase. During the restorative phase creation of proper tissue contours using the CO2 laser and control of tooth form to position tissue set the stage for obtaining optimal esthetic results.
