Resumo
Objetivo: Analisar, por meio de uma revisão narrativa, aspectos clínicos e estéticos da reabilitação com implante unitário em área anterior, com ênfase na importância do condicionamento gengival e do manejo adequado dos tecidos moles para obtenção de resultados estéticos previsíveis e satisfatórios. Revisão bibliográfica: Os estudos selecionados demonstram que o sucesso estético em implantes unitários anteriores depende de múltiplos fatores, como o planejamento multidisciplinar, o posicionamento tridimensional correto do implante, o biótipo periodontal, o volume ósseo e a qualidade dos tecidos moles peri-implantares. Técnicas de condicionamento gengival, associadas ou não a procedimentos de regeneração óssea e aumento de mucosa queratinizada, contribuem para a formação de um perfil de emergência natural e para a estabilidade dos tecidos ao longo do tempo. Observa-se ainda que a percepção estética dos pacientes pode diferir da avaliação clínica, reforçando a importância dos desfechos relatados pelos próprios pacientes. Considerações finais: Pode-se considerar que o condicionamento gengival é uma etapa essencial na reabilitação estética com implante unitário em área anterior, promovendo melhores resultados estéticos, maior previsibilidade clínica e manutenção da saúde peri-implantar a longo prazo.
