    Area of Science:

    • Dental Implantology
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Esthetic Dentistry

    Background:

    • Meeting patient esthetic demands is crucial in restorative dentistry.
    • Traditional abutments can present esthetic challenges, particularly with thin gingival biotypes.
    • Digital shade matching and advanced fabrication techniques offer potential solutions.

    Observation:

    • Gingiva-colored abutments were fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) technology.
    • Anodic oxidation was employed to achieve the desired gingival hue.
    • A digital shade guide was used to match abutment color to the patient's marginal gingiva.

    Findings:

    • After 1.5 years, the gingiva-colored abutments demonstrated stable color matching with the patients' natural gingiva.
    • Marginal bone and soft tissue levels remained comparable to baseline measurements in all observed cases.
    • The anodic oxidation technique proved effective in creating durable, esthetically pleasing abutments.

    Implications:

    • Gingiva-colored abutments offer a viable solution for improving esthetics in dental implant restorations.
    • This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with thin gingival biotypes, minimizing gray show-through.
    • Further research can explore long-term stability and broader applications of this technique in implant dentistry.
