Abstract: Correct emergence profile design of implant-supported provisional restoration is essential to obtain ideal esthetic outcome and its long-term stability, fabrication of provisional restoration and transferring of emergence profile to the definite prosthesis also play a key role in the implant therapy. This article summarizes the concepts and techniques used to design, contour, and transfer the emergence profile of implant-supported provisional restoration on different clinical situations to provide reference for clinicians.

Key words: dental implantation, esthetic zone, provisional restoration, emergence profile
