Abstract

The physiologic and biologic hard and soft tissue changes that occur following loss of tooth are inevitable. The functional and aesthetic replacement of lost natural hard and soft tissue via dental implant and its restorative components is in common practice now days. Placement of dental implant without considering these anatomical changes leads to malpositioning in vertical, mesial/distal, and/or facial/lingual plane. It is a challenge to re-establish soft tissue contour during the restorative process. This clinical report presents use of custom fabricated healing abutment to restore the gingival form in a malaligned dental implant.
