The ultimate goal in modern esthetic dentistry is the restoration of lost hard and soft tissues by imitating nature as closely as possible. With the increasing esthetic awareness of patients, surgical and technical developments, and dentists' enhanced skills and knowledge, optimal function and esthetics are achievable even with implant-supported restorations in molar regions. Anatomic and morphologic factors and poor bone quantity and quality might reduce success rates of dental implants in the posterior jaw. Today, there are two options to replace a single missing molar by an implant-supported crown: the single wide-diameter implant or two standard-diameter implants. These two approaches are described and their advantages and disadvantages discussed in two exemplary clinical cases.
