Area of Science:

Dentistry
Periodontology
Prosthodontics

Background:

An ideal emergence profile is crucial for gingival health and esthetics in dental restorations.
The ovate pontic design mimics a natural tooth, offering an optimal emergence profile.
Sufficient alveolar ridge height and width are necessary for successful ovate pontic restorations.

Observation:

This study investigated the use of an interpositional graft combined with an ovate pontic to address a deficient alveolar ridge.
The procedure aimed to enhance the ridge and achieve an esthetic emergence profile.

Findings:

After a three-month postoperative period, significant increases in the horizontal dimension of the deficient ridge were observed.
An esthetic emergence profile was successfully achieved, improving the overall restoration outcome.

Implications:

The interpositional graft technique offers a simpler and predictable solution for pontic site development.
This approach is particularly effective in cases of moderate bucco-lingual ridge deficiency.
The findings support the use of interpositional grafts for predictable esthetic outcomes in dental implantology and prosthodontics.
