Abstract

Aesthetics in oral implantology is comprehensively examined in this thesis, focusing on biological, clinical, surgical, and prosthetic aspects. Aesthetics, defined as philosophies concerned with beauty, is vital in dentistry where both functional and visually pleasing results are desired. Osseointegration is the biological foundation of implant stability. It is influenced by features such as bone quality and implant surface treatments and is evaluated via tools such as CBCT. Clinically, successful patient assessment, treatment planning, and utilizing advanced diagnostics, are elemental for predictable outcomes. Surgically, pre-surgical planning and procedures such as flap design and bone grafting are vital for implant success and aesthetics, with digital tools improving precision. Prosthetic considerations involve selecting materials such as zirconia and utilising advanced fabrication techniques to guarantee aesthetic prosthetics, sustained by regular maintenance protocols. The integration of these findings highlights the requirement of a comprehensive approach, linking advanced technology with clinical proficiency to accomplish optimal aesthetic outcomes in oral implantology, in spite of challenges such as biological variability and costs. Future research should concentrate on innovative materials and regenerative techniques to further enhance patient-centred outcomes.

Abstract (croatian)

Estetika u oralnoj implantologiji u ovom se radu sveobuhvatno ispituje s fokusom na biološke, kliničke, kirurške i protetske aspekte. Estetika, definirana kao filozofija koja se bavi ljepotom, vitalna je u stomatologiji gdje su poželjni i funkcionalni i vizualno ugodni rezultati. Oseointegracija je biološki temelj stabilnosti implantata. Na njega utječu značajke kao što su kvaliteta kosti i tretmani površine implantata, a procjenjuje se pomoću alata kao što je CBCT. Klinički, uspješna procjena bolesnika, planiranje liječenja i korištenje napredne dijagnostike ključni su za predvidljive ishode. Kirurški, predkirurško planiranje i postupci kao što su dizajn režnja i presađivanje kosti ključni su za uspjeh implantata i estetiku, s digitalnim alatima koji poboljšavaju preciznost. Protetska razmatranja uključuju odabir materijala kao što je cirkonij i korištenje naprednih tehnika izrade kako bi se zajamčila estetska protetika, podržana redovitim protokolima održavanja. Integracija ovih nalaza naglašava zahtjev za sveobuhvatnim pristupom, povezivanjem napredne tehnologije s kliničkim znanjem kako bi se postigli optimalni estetski rezultati u oralnoj implantologiji, unatoč izazovima kao što su biološka varijabilnost i troškovi. Buduća bi se istraživanja trebala usredotočiti na inovativne materijale i regenerativne tehnike kako bi se dodatno poboljšali ishodi usmjereni na pacijenta.
