Contour and Emergence Profile: Concepts and Techniques in the Digital Era

Course Description

One of the most important factors in achieving ideal outcomes with implant restorations in the esthetic zone is management of the peri-implant soft tissue architecture. As restorative dentists, the way that we can control the peri-implant soft tissues is through management of the emergence profile contours. While it is possible to achieve successful results with traditional techniques, digital technology can greatly improve predictability.

Learning Objectives

The objective of this lecture is to have participants understand the effects of emergence profile contours on the peri-implant soft tissues, how to use implant provisionals to develop the correct contour and how to transfer the contour to the laboratory using different impression techniques.

Speaker

In addition to being an Associate Clinical Professor in the department of Periodontics and Periodontal Prosthesis at Penn, he is also a Clinical Affiliate in the Division of Dentistry at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), treating children with advanced dental issues.
