Abstract: The emergence profile design of the implant prosthesis will not only affect the aesthetic effect of the prosthesis, but also affect the health of the tissues around the implant. Good emergence profile design helps to form a perfect soft tissue barrier, prevent microbial invasion, protect surrounding soft and hard tissues, and avoid aesthetic and biological complications. On the basis of understanding the biological characteristics of the tissue around the implant and based on the patient's soft and hard tissue conditions, designing a reasonable implant placement position to protect the health of the tissue around the implant is crucial to the success of the implant and also a necessary factor for the design of the emergence profile.
