The study focuses on the critical role of the gingival emergence profile in the success of dental implants, emphasizing its importance for both peri-implant health and esthetics. The research aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two common, cost-effective dental materials-light-cure composite and Protemp (a bis-acryl composite resin)-for fabricating customized healing abutments. By assessing the peri-implant tissue response to these materials, the study seeks to determine which is more suitable for creating an optimal, natural-looking soft tissue contour, thereby providing dentists with a practical and reliable alternative to more expensive options like PEEK.
