Achieving an optimal esthetic result when replacing missing teeth with implant-supported
restorations in the esthetic zone is a demanding surgical and restorative challenge.
This clinical report describes the use of a cantilevered, cemented, implant-supported
restoration with gingiva-colored ceramics and a circumferential pressure-ridge lap
pontic to replace 2 incisors and the adjacent tissue.
