Sažetak

In the recent decade, implant-prosthetic therapy in partially edentulous patients is more and more suggested therapy. Implant placement in front region is very demanding and technically sensitive. Growing patients’ demands for natural look of prosthetic appliances in visible region of oral cavity forces clinicians for education, knowledge and capabilities. The aim of the study is clinical evaluation of prosthetic-implant therapy in patients with missing front tooth at the Department of Prosthodontics, School of Dental Medicine Zagreb. Total of 23 patients had implant therapy during the last decade. The reasons for tooth loss were: caries and fracture of endodontic treated tooth, trauma, anodontia and periodontal disease. Upper medial incisor was replaced in most cases, than upper lateral incisor, upper canine and lower medial incisor. The implants are approximately 5 years in function. No implant failure was reported. Functional durability and esthetic of prosthetic/implant therapy depends on biomechanical factors and lack of infection. Cooperation of patients in this study for regular check-ups was minimal but nevertheless success of therapy was satisfactory.
