Gingival Embrasure I
A 67-year-old woman has multiple restoration (difficult for guide preparation). The tooth #6 fractures equigingival with a separated file (Fig.1 <). Because of missing #7, the gingival embrasure between #6 and 8 is large (*). To reduce it, the mesial crest will be trimmed by using 6 mm profile drill after placement of a 3.5x13 mm FC implant (low bone density) and a narrow temporary abutment is going to be used to squeeze the papilla coronally and mesially. In a coronal section, osteotomy will be initiated in the middle of the palatal slope of the socket (Fig.2). A 4 mm x15 degree ~3 mm cuff angled abutment may be used before impression. Take preop photos to show the large gingival embrasure between #6 and 8.
