Ideal emergence profile made using artificial intelligence tooth segmentation technology and mirror image feature of CAD software programs for a maxillary anterior implant-supported single crown

For implant-supported restorations, the contour of their emergence profile is influenced by the implant’s proximity to the neighboring bone and tooth roots. Long-term function and esthetics depend on the surrounding soft tissue having access to an adequate blood supply. A protocol involving immediat...

Summary:For implant-supported restorations, the contour of their emergence profile is influenced by the implant’s proximity to the neighboring bone and tooth roots. Long-term function and esthetics depend on the surrounding soft tissue having access to an adequate blood supply. A protocol involving immediate implant placement and interim restoration placement can provide a more functional emergence profile and more effectively meet patients’ esthetic expectations, with the restoration's emergence profile closely resembling that of a natural tooth. This article describes a method of creating the emergence profile by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tooth segmentation and the mirror image feature of a computer-aided design (CAD) software program into the process.
