Abstract: Obtaining the ideal pink aesthetic effect is one of the important conditions for successful implantation therapy in aesthetic areas. In clinical practice, the soft tissue can be guided to shape by temporary prosthesis to achieve the ideal aesthetic effect. The shape and size of the restorative emergence profile will have a significant impact on the aesthetics, health and stability of the hard and soft tissue surrounding the implant due to the obvious difference between the implant and the natural periodontal tissue. When improperly designed, the gingival profile endangers the blood supply in the area and the implementation of disease detection and professional maintenance measures, leading to loss of tissue volume around the implant and occurrence of disease. A thorough understanding of biological characteristics of these tissues as well as design principles of prosthesis emergence profile will help the prosthodontist to achieve the aesthetic, function, health and stability of peri-implant tissues through predictable management and shaping of the soft tissue.
