Abstract:
The concept of ‘Implant Supracrestal Complex (ISC)’ was introduced as a way to determine the impact of implant prosthetic design form on both short-term clinical outcomes and the long-term prognosis of bone and soft tissues around the implant.Implant-prosthesis-abutment complex design forms, such as implant-abutment design, junction, and location, can have important implications for the stable and healthy long-term maintenance of the tissues around the implant. In this case, a customized concave abutment and a prosthesis with an emergence angle of about 30 degrees were restored to a patient suffering from chronic soft tissue inflammation and pain after restoration of an implant prosthesis. It was confirmed that the new prosthesis improved complications by allowing sufficient bone and soft tissue space, achieved appropriate soft tissue sealing, and maintained the longterm stability of the implant.
