Accuracy of Digital Impression Methods for Capturing the Peri-Implant Emergence Profile: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurately replicating the emergence profile (EP) of conditioned soft tissue is pivotal for the success of implant-supported restorations. In the field of digital technology, various methods have emerged to capture EP. This review aims to critically assess current digital methodologies for capturing peri-implant EP.

Material and methods

Prospective interventional or observational clinical studies focusing on digitally mapping the emergence profile (EP) around single implant-supported restorations were included. Systematic reviews, in vitro and animal studies, and those not emphasizing EP capture were excluded. A systematic search across four databases (MEDLINE, CENTRAL, Embase, Web of Science) was conducted on 7th August 2024 based on a previously registered proto
