The ongoing pursuit of aesthetic excellence in the field of implant therapy has incorporated prosthetic concepts in the early\r\ntreatment-planning phase, as well as the previously discussed surgical concepts. The literature has addressed these prosthetic and\r\nlaboratory approaches required to enhance and perfect the soft and hard tissue management (SHTM). After surgically providing\r\nan acceptable hard tissue architecture and adequate timing of loading of the implant, the prosthetic phase is responsible for the soft\r\ntissue modeling, through correctly planned and executed procedures, which induce a satisfactory soft tissue profile by considering\r\nthe microvasculature, the abutment connection and positioning, and the implementation of an adequate provisional phase. The\r\nobjectives are the modeling of the soft tissues through the use of a conforming periorestorative interface which will produce desired\r\nand stable results.
