Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

Gingival retraction techniques for dental implants lack sufficient evidence. New product development and research are needed for effective peri-implant impression making, especially for deep implants.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Review and comparison of gingival retraction techniques for implants and teeth.
  • Focus on techniques relevant to peri-implant applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate the evidence for gingival displacement techniques in implant dentistry.
  • Determine the relevance of traditional gingival retraction methods for implants.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search using Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, and Google Scholar.
  • Keywords included gingival retraction, implant abutment, impressions, and peri-implant tissue.

Main Results:

  • Insufficient evidence found for gingival displacement techniques in implant impression making.

  • Current techniques are primarily designed for teeth, not implants.
  • Further research and new product development are necessary.

    • Conclusions:

    • Injectable materials offer effective finish line exposure for conventional and digital impressions.
    • Limitations exist for deep implant placements.
    • Gingival retraction for implants requires further investigation and innovation.
