Prosthetic Soft Tissue Management in Esthetic Implant Restorations, Part II: Post-surgical Considerations and Impression Techniques. A Narrative Review.
Review in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis two-part review article delineates various techniques to enhance esthetic outcomes in anterior implant treatments. Part I concentrates on presurgical measures, case selection, implant placement, and restoration timing. Part II discusses postsurgical steps, the temporary restoration phase, the emergence profile contour, abutment types, and impression techniques. MATERIAL AND
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted using Medline/PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. The primary keywords included: "Dental Implants," "Dental Prosthesis, Implant-Supported," "Esthetics, Dental," "Dental Impression Techniques," and "Tissue Management."
resultsInitially, 1472 studies were identified, from which 187 were selected based on publication year and title relevance. After removing duplicates, 84 abstracts were reviewed in full text, culminating in 59 studies being thoroughly analyzed.
conclusionsThe decision to deliver an immediate restoration following implant insertion depends on the primary stability. However, in cases where delayed restoration is chosen, it is essential to consider the potential collapse of the soft tissue. A temporary restoration phase could be beneficial to aid in rebuilding the soft tissue. After achieving the desirable level of soft tissue, several techniques are available to achieve a precise transfer of molded gingival architecture, including customized impression coping, injection of soft material around the provisional restoration in the master cast, and digital impression.
