Creation of Emergence Profile in Single Tooth Implant Retained Fixed Prosthesis

Abstract

In partial and complete edentulous patients, prosthetic restorations over implants are often one of the preferred treatment options today. Before switching to permanent fixed prosthesis construction after implant treatment, it is necessary to create a soft tissue profile compatible with proximal teeth by various methods. Many case reports stated that the soft tissue profile formed after the placement of a temporary prosthesis with a stable and appropriate contour should be transferred to permanent restoration. In this case report, 34-year-old female patient and 29-year-old male patient who missing teeth 36 and 14 were planned to shape their gingiva using temporary crowns with occlusal screws. A personal ti-based abutment was prepared after the appropriate emergence profile was provided. Aesthetic and functional loss was restored by applying zirconia ceramic restorations to the patient. No complications were observed 1,3 and 6-month control appointments of the patients. © 2025, Ataturk Universitesi. All rights reserved.
