[Progress in clinical studies on the effect of the interproximal space of implant prosthesis on hard and soft tissues in the posterior region].
Abstract
In clinical practice, it is commonly observed that the height of gingival papillae between implants and between implants and adjacent teeth is lower compared to natural teeth. As a result, the papillae cannot fully fill the interdental space, making horizontal food impaction more likely to occur. Parameters such as the height, width, shape, and area of the implant-tooth interproximal space can exert varying degrees of influence on the peri-implant tissues. Therefore, the design of the implant-tooth interproximal space is critically important. This article aims to review the impact of posterior implant-tooth interproximal space design on peri-implant tissues and food impaction.
