Research Progress on Design and Effect of Emergence Profile of Implant Prosthesis
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 aesthet-ic 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 af-fecting the design of implant emergence profile and the influence of emergence profile on peri-implant tissue,in or-der to provide reference for the design of implant emergence profile in different clinical situations.
