title: Achieving the Optimal Peri-implant Soft Tissue Profile by the Selective Pressure Method via Provisional Restorations in the Esthetic Zone.
abstract: For the successful single-tooth implant therapy in the esthetics zone, achieving an ideal peri-implant soft tissue profile is paramount. It can achieve by the manipulation of the provisional restorations. This clinical report demonstrate the selective pressure method and concave transmucosal profile of the provisional restorations to achieve the ideal and stable gingival profile in esthetic single tooth implant restorations.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The selective pressure method and the concave transmucosal profile in implant provisional restorations facilitate stable and harmonized peri-implant gingival tissue in the esthetic zone.
