HUAYTALLA ORE, Lizzeth Fiorella  and  MATTA MORALES, Carlos. Customized healing abutments: An option for emergence profile conformation in posterior implants prosthesis. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.4, pp.279-286. ISSN 1019-4355.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.20453/reh.v28i4.3433.

Tooth losing results in a collapse of their supporting tissues, which develops a ridge deformity. Soft tissues also undergo modifications in their structure, which in many cases could be difficult to restore. When implant surgery planning is carried out, we should not only we focus on replacing the dental pieces themselves, but we should also achieve an aesthetic and functional result that, to the extent possible, closely resembles the natural tooth anatomy. The papillae conformation and the peri-implant soft tissue management is a challenge that currently has several treatment alternatives. The aim of this article is to provide an alternative technique for emergency profile conformation on implant-supported prostheses in which the compression method will be used, by using a customized healing screw with resin addition in order to conform the posterior teeth peri-implantar tissue.
