“…12 Solutions that incorporate the use of interim restorations very often do not ensure the ideal shape of the emergence profile (prefabricated abutments) or are dependent on the technician's skills (custom abutments). [13][14][15][16][17] Nevertheless, the addition of an Er:YAG laser introduces a fast and easy method for obtaining an optimal emergence profile. The use of a laser excludes postoperative bleeding (optimal hemostasis), the need for suturing and local anesthesia.…”

“…12 Other methods incorporate the use of interim restorations made of an autopolymerizing resin or direct composite. [13][14][15][16][17] Ntounis and Petropoulou proposed the use of a screw-retained provisional restoration that was adjusted regularly. 15 Azer combined the method of using a rotary instrument to reshape the stone cast with the use of a provisional autopolymerizing resin crown that was gradually built up each week by adding more resin to the external gingival contours.…”

Dental impressions are mainly used to record the geometry of hard and soft tissue and the relations between teeth and the adjacent tissues. In implantology, precise implant impressions are necessary to obtain the best possible detailed reproduction of the implant site and the passive intraoral fit of the implant framework. However, ensuring those necessities in the interdisciplinary treatment of orthodontic patients requires revised impression techniques and materials. In this study a modified one-stage putty-wash pick-up implant impression procedure was used, incorporating the use of two additional silicone materials and modeling wax. Additionally, an Er:YAG laser was used to obtain a better emergence profile for implant restorations and an immediate impression, which shortened the prosthodontic stage in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. The technique described here for taking the impression and creating the emergence profile offers dental practitioners additional options in implantoprosthodontic treatment of orthodontic patients, as the method is characterized by simple preparation and satisfactory implant site reproduction.

“…To create a natural emergence profile, the base of the provisional restoration is developed using light-curing composite resin. The use of light-curing composite resin rather than acrylic resin to reform the base of the provisional restoration causes less soft tissue irritation due to elimination of the autopolymerized acrylic resin monomer [26,27]. …”

PurposeThe emergence profile concept of an implant restoration is one of the most important factors for the esthetics and health of peri-implant soft tissue. This paper reports on two cases of gingival recontouring by the fabrication of a provisional implant restoration to produce an optimal emergence profile of a definitive implant restoration.MethodsAfter the second surgery, a preliminary impression was taken to make a soft tissue working cast. A provisional crown was fabricated on the model. The soft tissue around the implant fixture on the model was trimmed with a laboratory scalpel to produce the scalloped gingival form. Light curing composite resin was added to fill the space between the provisional crown base and trimmed gingiva. After 4 to 6 weeks, the final impression was taken to make a definitive implant restoration, where the soft tissue and tooth form were in harmony with the adjacent tooth.ResultsAt the first insertion of the provisional restoration, gum bleaching revealed gingival pressure. Four to six weeks after placing the provisional restoration, the gum reformed with harmony between the peri-implant gingiva and adjacent dentition.ConclusionsGingival recontouring with a provisional implant restoration is a non-surgical and non-procedure-sensitive method. The implant restoration with the optimal emergence profile is expected to provide superior esthetic and functional results.

“…This could result in a compromised final esthetic outcome. The other main concern with screw-retained provisional restorations occurs in the maxillary anterior area where the screw access hole is often seen penetrating through the facial surface of the provisional crown, resulting in challenging, and time-consuming esthetic filling of the access hole [11]. Conversely, cement-retained provisional restorations have the main concern of retaining excess cement after cementation [12].…”

The utilization of an implant-supported provisional restoration is essential to the development of an anatomical gingival architecture, which is needed to attain an esthetically pleasing final restoration. Both screw-retained and cement-retained provisional restorations can be utilized for immediate or delayed provisionalization, each with their benefits and shortcomings. This article describes a versatile technique for fabricating a cement-retained implant provisional restoration that allows for extraoral customization of the provisional abutment to provide the desired emergence profile, and allows for the cement margin to be visible for precise removal of excess cement.
