Abstract:
The long-term success of dental implants depends not only upon implant osseointegration, but also on the surrounding soft tissue health and profile. An ideal emergence profile contributes to the aesthetics of an implant restoration. It maintains long-term implant health by preventing potential food accumulation and forming a barrier against bacterial ingress. This article describes a method for obtaining an impression of implants that will capture the custom guided peri-implant soft tissue contours accurately, thus contributing to a final restoration with favorable aesthetics. We also describe a technique for reducing excess cement in a cement retained implant crown, thereby contributing to the health of the peri-implant tissues.
