Aesthetic replacement of anterior teeth using ovate pontic – A Case Report
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Dentistry - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Replacing lost teeth aesthetically has always been a challenge for a Prosthodontist. It is very important to preserve the interproximal tissues after the extraction of tooth/teeth for a good aesthetic outcome. After extraction of the tooth, there is recession of the interproximal papilla and collapse of the buccal plate. This makes it difficult to restore the aesthetics to full satisfaction. Hence it is important to preserve the socket size, shape and the space of the gingival tissue in order to preserve the tissue height. This article discusses the successful creation of natural gingival profiles of missing anterior teeth by using ovate pontic.
