Custom Healing Abutment Fabrication Using Extracted Teeth

Share

Dentists face challenges in maintaining the buccal gingival margin position and interproximal papillae when restoring implants in the posterior region. Creating a provisional restoration with a natural emergence profile can facilitate oral hygiene and minimize gingival inflammation. Techniques like fabricating a custom healing abutment or using extracted teeth can replicate the natural emergence profile, supporting the dentogingival complex and minimizing recession and gingival embrasure development. This approach also aids in preserving tissue levels and reducing the risk of peri-implantitis.
