| Summary: | Introduction: The high success rate of implant treatments has made it one of the most common treatments in dentistry. Nevertheless, we are witnessing an increase in the side effects of implant treatments, such as esthetic problems. The present study aimed to evaluate the aesthetic indices (e.g., pink esthetic score (PES) and White Esthetic Score (WES)in dental implants delivered in the Implant Departmentof Mashhad Dentistry School in 2017-2019. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted on 20 Patients with single implant in the anterior region of the maxilla whoseprosthetic work was completed in 2017. After cementing the crown, the photographs and casts of patients were prepared and evaluated for aesthetic indicators. The PES index included papillary mesial, papaldistal, gingival margin arch, gingival margin surface, bony prominence of root and color area, as well assoft tissue texture. The WES index encompassed tooth shape, color and surface texture, as well as translucency. The total score of each patient was calculated in the soft tissue and coronal sections. Results: In the current study, 20 patients whoseimplant placement steps were performed in 2017 in the Implant Department of Mashhad DentalSchool were examined after reviewing the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the results, the mean PES, WES, and the mean total PES/WES scores were obtained at 7.20±1.76, 6.75±2.04,and 13.95±3.41, respectively. In the PES index, five patients (25%) had unacceptable results. In theWES index, five patients (25%) had unacceptable results. Finally, a total of PES / WES scoresof five patients (25%) had unacceptable results. Conclusion: As evidenced by the findings of the present study, the results of PES and WES aesthetic indices in patients with a single implant were clinically acceptable.Nevertheless, there were still cases with low aesthetic score based on PES/WES criteria, highlighting the need for better care on the part of dentists for the attainment of more positive cosmetic results. |
