Indirect Approach for Personalized Transfer in Emergence Profile Recording for Anterior Implants

Background: The emergence profile of dental implants is essential for the aesthetic and functional success of implant restorations, particularly in the anterior sector. Proper management of the emergence profile contributes to natural-looking restorations and healthy peri-implant soft tissues. Objective: This case report aims to demonstrate the use of the conventional technique with personalized transfer to record the emergence profile for an implant restoration in the anterior sector. Methods: A 36-year-old female patient, H.A., sought treatment following the extraction of tooth 21. A provisional prosthesis was placed to guide soft tissue healing, and after osseointegration, the emergence profile was recorded using the conventional technique with a personalized transfer method. High- and low-viscosity silicone, flowable resin, and light-curing techniques were used to accurately capture and transfer the emergence profile from the provisional prosthesis to the implant model. Results: The use of the personalized transfer technique allowed for a precise replication of the provisional prosthesis’s emergence profile, ensuring a natural appearance and integration of the final implant restoration. The procedure led to a favorable aesthetic and functional outcome, demonstrating the effectiveness of this technique in anterior implant restorations. Conclusion: The conventional technique with personalized transfer is a reliable and effective method for recording the emergence profile, particularly in the anterior sector where aesthetic demands are high. This technique ensures optimal soft tissue management and enhances the integration of the final prosthesis, offering predictable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing results.
