Curious as to the various schools of thought regarding the contour of emergence profiles for immediate placement temps. In my mind, you would want to contour the temp with a gradual slope from the implant interface to where the crown exits the gingiva and have the tissue heal to what would be a natural emergence profile. I have an account who would rather me create the "lollipop-on-a-stick" contour and actually undercontour the emergence profile. He claims that if isn't done this way, the gingiva will recede. I really thought the whole idea was to have the tissue heal to the correct emergence profile. Thoughts?
