Delivering a restoration that respects periodontal health, is esthetic, and that maximizes longevity can be challenging. This presentation will offer diverse clinical scenarios to discuss the variables that we should consider as a part of our decision-making process in restorative design as well as material selection around teeth and implants to maximize success. This presentation will highlight the importance of component fit, discuss the concept of anodization as it applies to improving biological acceptance, and review how probing implants can be damaging to restorative components.
