Using Digital Technique to Obtain the Ideal Soft Tissue Contour in Immediate Implants With Provisionalization.

This paper presents a newly developed digital technique to make a provisional crown that mimics the natural tooth during immediate implant placement. Basically, a digital technique results in a precise transfer tooth emergence profile for provisional restoration in immediate implant placement so that an ideal periimplant soft tissue contour can be maintained. The architecture of extraction socket is obtained digitally before the surgery that allows for implant planning by position of the implant as well as the emergence profile of provisional restoration. The introduction of this approach provides a versatile, precise, and predictable procedure leading to better esthetic outcomes.
