Management of esthetic zone using immediate implants and GBR

Despite the high success rate, immediate implant placements have been challenged with unfavorable esthetic results because of the high prevalence of mid-facial mucosal recession. With the proposed guideline, potential mucosal changes could be prevented by comprehensive assessment and management. Soft tissue grafts could be used successfully to prevent or correct mid-facial mucosal recession following immediate implant placement, achieving predictable esthetic outcomes.
