title: Restoration using gingiva-colored ceramic and a ridge lap pontic with circumferential pressure: a clinical report.
abstract: Achieving an optimal esthetic result when replacing missing teeth with implant-supported restorations in the esthetic zone is a demanding surgical and restorative challenge. This clinical report describes the use of a cantilevered, cemented, implant-supported restoration with gingiva-colored ceramics and a circumferential pressure-ridge lap pontic to replace 2 incisors and the adjacent tissue.
