| Abstract | In the anterior region, the successful replacement of a single tooth with an implant-supported restoration is one of the most difficult treatment options due to numerous functional and biological requisites. Such prostheses should also satisfy the increasing aesthetic demands of patients who expect the definitive restoration to mimic the natural dentition and their supporting gingival tissues. This article highlights the importance of the provisional restoration as the critical element for aesthetic success and gingival integration. Its perfect replication in the definitive restoration requires the use of optimized transference techniques. |
