Abstract

This report demonstrates a method for shaping the soft-tissue of pontic and future implant sites before implants placement. After non-restorable teeth were extracted, soft-tissue was contoured to achieve ovate-shape on pontic and implant areas. These initial contouring procedures allowed the shape of the soft-tissue to be evaluated before implant placement.
