This case report explores a root submergence technique to improve dental implant aesthetics in the front upper jaw.

## Contribution

The study introduces the cautious use of root submergence technique for enhancing implant aesthetics in the anterior maxillary region.

## Key findings

- The root submergence technique shows promise in addressing aesthetic concerns in dental implants.
- The technique was applied to two patients with gingival recession and spacing issues.
- Long-term effectiveness of the technique requires further research and follow-up studies.

## Abstract

Improving the aesthetic outcome of dental implants, especially in the anterior maxillary region, presents a considerable clinical challenge. This case report investigates the utility of a root submergence technique (RST) to address aesthetic concerns associated with fixed dental prostheses in this crucial area. Two female patients, aged 45 and 50 years, sought treatment for smile aesthetics and concerns related to gingival recession and spacing. The RST was employed to address these issues and enhance aesthetic outcomes. Our experience suggests that the cautious application of the RST holds promise for improving the aesthetic appearance of pontic sites in the anterior maxillary region. However, further research, including longitudinal follow-up studies, is essential to ascertain the long-term effectiveness and stability of this approach.
