Abstract
Implant restorations may be challenging when attempting to satisfy
patients even with the recent advances in materials and techniques. In
this case report, the patient had fractured implant at the #8 site that was
removed and healed for 3 months. This resulted in a class II Siebert bone
defect. The patient followed the treatment suggested by the dentist
and achieved soft tissue esthetics but decided to choose the restoration
according to his esthetic perceptions. This report shows that the esthetic
is subjective based on a patients desire. Objective esthetic evaluation is
supported by science and research. However, the final decision concerning
esthetics is determined according to a patient’s perception. For patient’s
satisfaction the clinician, most respect the patient’s decision.
