Abstract
Dental implants that restore lost teeth are no longer a difficult choice. In past years, osseointegration and mar-ginal bone level stability were regarded as success criteria. However, clinicians and patients consider aesthetic requirements a critical success factor. Therefore, the review of literatures and cases was conducted from a surgi-cal point of view when placing implants for the long-term results with desired requirements. The author demonstrated that 1) appropriate 3D implant placement position (vertical position of depth and distance considering the attachment level of adjacent teeth; horizontal position considering the outer edge of the jaw bone), 2) appropriate bone width around the implant and surrounding gingiva (buccal bone, keratinized gingiva, thickness above the implant, vestibular depth) area needed for esthetic and functional implants.
