Abstract

The use of a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth or edentulous space has shown high rates of survival. Along with the survival, the surrounding peri implant health is also an important factor in the success of the implant. A variety of different criteria have been incorporated to judge the esthetic outcome. During the treatment planning phase, factors like the smile line, lip support, ridge position and interocclusal space are key in achieving a good result. Clinically after 6-12 months of the implant placement, a variety of dental indices and the pink esthetic score and white esthetic score parameters can be used. This literature review has been done to highlight the importance of the esthetic outcome and the best ways that can be employed to do the same.
