Achieving Believable Implant Gingival Esthetics in the Anterior Zone

Dr Lane Ochi takes us through an in-depth look at the various aspects of the emergence profile that are critical to achieving stable peri-implant tissues and esthetically pleasing outcomes.

A properly designed emergence profile not only enhances the visual result but also plays a vital role in supporting a favorable biological response to implant-supported restorations. This lecture explores the distinct zones of the emergence profile and how they relate to key clinical factors such as implant position and soft tissue thickness. With a focus on the esthetic zone, Dr Lane reviews the principles and guidelines that help clinicians consistently deliver both stable and esthetically driven implant restorations.
