Preserving the Papilla: Why It Matters in Implant Aesthetics ๐ฆท
Achieving natural-looking results in implant dentistry isnโt just about the crown. Itโs about the soft tissue, too.
A well-formed interproximal papilla adjacent to an implant-supported restoration is more than aesthetic:
๐น It limits plaque accumulation in difficult-to-reach interproximal spaces
๐น It supports long-term maintenance of the implant and adjacent teeth
๐น It promotes harmony with the surrounding natural dentition
The One-Time Abutment Protocol by Advan helps preserve soft tissue architecture by maintaining stability from day one.
Key factors in papilla formation include:
โ๏ธ Bone crest to contact point distance (CPโBC)
โ๏ธ Horizontal spacing between roots or implants
โ๏ธ Embrasure shape and crown morphology
โ๏ธ Thickness and quality of soft tissue
๐ง The balance between bone architecture and restorative design is essential for stable, lasting soft tissue outcomes.
