Anatomically correct soft tissue profiles using fixed detachable provisional implant restorations. 1997

S Saba

For the past decade, the dental profession has given very little thought to the design of fixed detachable restorations with anatomically correct emergence profiles. Over-contoured implant restorations are frequently seen, and they may be challenging for patients to maintain. This article will address the most common techniques used to improve the soft tissue profile, and will show how implant-borne provisional restorations allow ideal soft tissue profiles to be achieved.
