Research Progress on Design and Effect of Emergence Profile of Implant Prosthesis

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2024.03.002

Abstract

Abstract: The emergence profile of implant prosthesis refers to the contour of the transmucosal area between the implant shoulder and the gingival margin. The reasonable design of the emergence profile helps to obtain an aesthetic effect of implant prosthesis which is similar to the natural teeth, adapt to the soft tissue profile of the adjacent teeth, and play an important role in maintaining the long-term health of soft and hard tissues around the implant and reducing the incidence of biological and aesthetic complications. This article will review the consideration factors affecting the design of implant emergence profile and the influence of emergence profile on peri-implant tissue, in order to provide reference for the design of implant emergence profile in different clinical situations.

Key words: dental implantation, emergence profile, abutment, emergence angle, denture design
