The fate of the distal papilla around tooth‐bound implant‐supported restorations in maxillary central incisor sites

The distal papilla around tooth‐bound implant‐supported restorations in maxillary central incisor sites tends to exhibit an atrophied aspect after tissue maturation following the delivery of the final prosthesis.

Description
Summary:The distal papilla around tooth‐bound implant‐supported restorations in maxillary central incisor sites tends to exhibit an atrophied aspect after tissue maturation following the delivery of the final prosthesis. This article provides an explanation to this phenomenon, as well as a set of therapeutic considerations to minimize its occurrence and optimize the outcomes of tooth replacement therapy with dental implants in this specific anatomic location.
