Hi Omid,

The retractor is an OptraGate from Ivoclar Vivadent. It is really a great retractor for anterior restorative.

Best regards,

Hello Dr. Phelan,

Beautiful surgical pictures!
If I may ask, what is the name of the retraction device being used for this surgery, and who manufactures it?
It appears to be a hybrid of sorts using a rubber damn connected to a rigid extra-oral plastic ring?

Thank you in advance,
Omid Kiarash

Comment on Altering The Gingival Levels For Anterior Dental Implants by Stephen Phelan

Hi Leora,
Thanks for the comments and to answer your question, I placed the implant myself and used Simplant to plan the ideal implant position both surgically and restoratively. I then had Simplant create a Surgiguide from my plan and I used the Straumann guided surgery kit with this guide to place the implant in the same location as my treatment plan. I did design the implant location so the screw hole would be closer to the cingulum and used a standard provisional abutment for the provisional.
Thanks again,
Stephen

Beautiful work Stephan! Very nice restorative work, even if it is “only a temporary”. How did you manage to get a screw retained anterior crown? Was the implant placed palatally enough thereby making the screw access hole palatal? Or did you use an abutment to correct the angle?

Very nicely done.

Stephan,
Just wanted to say that this is an excellent example of nice tissue shaping.
I have done some lecturing for Straumann about anterior esthetics and this is a beautifully, well detailed way to show people how to adjust contours to get the proper emergence profiles for good esthetics. Very nicely documented. I appreciate it because I know how much time and planing it takes to make this happen in a busy practice. Well done.
Warm regards,
Bruce

According to the cone beam views i think an immediate implant with a bone graft and delayed loading woulf greatly increases chances of success in this region considering the condition f the buccal bone. Implant width i recommend a 4,2 ~ 4,7
