Finally our Master piece article on QDT 2021/2022, a different approach whenever possible to take into consideration on daily planning. When the transition line between the alveolar ridge and the prosthetic restoration is revealed during a smile, the typical treatment is to remove bone vertically to hide this transition below the smile line. However, this procedure considerably alters the lip support, which some patients find greatly displeasing and often describe as “losing part of their identity.” In our experience, many patients are re- luctant to consider implant treatment because they are afraid of losing their original smile and, with that, their iden- tity and personality.
This article suggests a modification of the traditional protocol that may be applied in select patient situations to avoid continuous bone loss and exposure of the prosthe- sis–alveolar bone transition line during a smile, improving esthetics with the All-on-4 concept.
