Abstract: This study aimed to analyze the esthetic outcome and infraocclusal complications resulted by the continuous maxilla growth of the tooth adjacent to the implant tooth via three different young female adults cases up to 10-year follow-up after implant tooth final restoration. The main complications observed in these cases were: shorter incisal edges, disharmony labial gingival margin with the contralateral tooth, labial frenulum deviations, diastema, or incomplete papillae, bone resorption, and infraocclusion. The causes attributed to dentoalveolar changes in adulthood, continuous growth spurts in young adult female, and periodontium remodeling. Finally, several solutions were proposed.
