Abstract
In the 1980s, the work of Professors Bräne mark and Schroeder led to the introduction of a new surgical technique: implantology. In the beginning, the position of the implant depended mainly on the available bone volume. Successful treatment was based solely on osteo integration. In a few years, the reliability of this therapy has allowed the treatment from single tooth replacement to full-archrestoration, thus paving the way for an additional requirement: an aesthetic integration. Consequently, the position of the implant had to coincide with the future prosthesis. We moved from an implant ology paradigm guided by bone anatomy to implant ology guided by prosthetic requirements.When it concerns a canine replacement, both fuctional and esthetic require mentsare considered. In fact, the replacement of a canine tooth by an implant will, in its neuro physiologic consequences, exchange a protection system based on the presence of periodontal membrane receptors with one that depends on an implant anky losed in bone that can transmit only feeble information to be filtered by sensitive superior ganglia.A bonded bridge on lateral in cisor and first premolar can be a temporary solution during peri-implant bone healing, it requires a reversible tooth preparation limited to enamel.
