İmplant Destekli Protezlerde İmmediat Yükleme, Yumuşak Doku Şekillendirmesi ve Bireysel Ölçü Postu Üretilmesi: Olgu Sunumu Immediate Loading, Soft Tissue Manipulation and Manufacture of Individual Impression Posts in Implant Supported Prostheses: Case Report

Abstract

One of the most important factors affecting the long-term success of implant-supported prostheses is the adequate and appropriate form of hard and soft tissue. The immediate loading protocol aims to restore the lost aesthetics and function of the patient as quickly as possible. The emergence profile of the restorations is one of the important factors affecting the esthetics and longterm success of implant-supported prostheses. Today, individual healing caps and provisional restorations are frequently used in order to achieve an appropriate emergence profile. Proper transfer of the emergence profile to the impression is extremely important for the compatibility of the final restorations. However, the cylindrical structure of standard impression posts is not fully sufficient to reflect the emergence profile to the impression. In this case report, a provisional restoration was performed with an immediate loading protocol following the application of an implant to the patient’s missing tooth area. After 4 months of this procedure, the provisional restoration was copied and an individual impression post was produced. This individual impression post was used for the fabrication of the final restoration. Although different treatment protocols can be applied in different studies, the main purpose is to create an emergence profile close to natural teeth in implant supported prostheses and to produce final
