Objective: Emulating natural dentition with dental implant restorations is challenging, increasing its complexity when a pontic area must be restored. Many different methods have been described to solve this problem. The pontic designs which have been proposed have specific indications and may require additional treatments, including soft tissue augmentation procedures, to increase the possibility of an esthetically pleasing and biologically tolerable outcome. Proper conditioning of the soft tissues during the interim restoration stage and adequate communication with the laboratory are also critical factors to a successful outcome. This article describes the different approaches to restoring pontic sites with different degrees of complexity, their clinical indications, and limitations viewed from a perio-prosthodontic approach. Clinical Considerations: Different clinical scenarios for pontic sites require different approaches. Missing hard and soft tissues can be replaced by surgical or prosthetic means. Understanding the clinical indications and implications of the different pontic designs allows the clinician to make good decisions when planning and treating patients that require replacement of pontic spaces leading to more successful outcomes. Conclusions: Different pontic designs have specific indications as well as biologic and esthetic prognoses. Selection of a good design, proper modifications during the provisionalization stage, and adequate communication with the dental laboratory will lead to higher chances of esthetic and biological success. Clinical Significance: The proper pontic design allows for esthetically pleasing pontic sites which emulate natural emergence from the soft tissues while promoting biological stability.

Conventionally, when a zirconia fixed dental restoration is planned, the interim restoration is made manually and the final restoration is fabricated by the silicone impression taking at the prosthodontic stage. This conventional workflow does not provide direct relation between interim and final restorations. Moreover, the predictability of the final restoration could be low. Nowadays, the CAD/CAM based restoration fabrication and related digital techniques are developed and being applied in dentistry in multiple ways. This case report introduces a digital workflow for fabricating an optimal gingival adaptation and predictability of monolithic zirconia restoration by using CAD/CAM interim restoration, intra oral scan, and image superimposition technique in a case that required tooth extraction.
