Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Platform switching is a technique used in dental implants to minimize marginal bone loss.
  • Maintaining gingival architecture is crucial for favorable esthetic outcomes in implant dentistry.

Observation:

  • A patient experienced gingival recession, leading to the exposure of the implant neck and threads.
  • This exposure presented an esthetic challenge and potential hygiene issues.

Findings:

  • A custom-made prosthetic component was utilized to manage the exposed implant components.
  • The intervention successfully created a more accessible implant-abutment interface for patient cleaning.

Implications:

  • Custom prosthetic solutions can effectively manage complications like implant neck exposure.
  • While esthetics may be partially compromised, functional improvements like enhanced hygiene are achievable.
