A lack of space can be a key challenge when restoring lower anterior teeth using implants, especially for proper implant placement and the limitation on suitable implant selections. Moreover, depending on the shape of the prosthetic, the adjacent teeth and bone around the implant can also have a significant impact, while in certain cases, the implant can have a detrimental effect on the surrounding bone. Therefore, this case series highlights how variations in the subgingival contour can produce different results for the biology of the marginal bone around an implant and the interproximal bone of the adjacent teeth.
