Description: Conclusion. Optimal gingival papilla form adjacent to SPS implants appears to rely mainly on: (1) the horizontal distance and (2) the osseous support of the adjacent tooth.Results. The mean bli (bone level-to-implant) was 1.00 mm. The retention of mid-proximal crestal bone height (pcl ) was optimal at a horizontal inter-implant distance (hiid ) of >4 mm or a horizontal implant-to-tooth distance (hitd ) of >1.5 mm. Neither contact point distance nor pcl effected gingival papillae form. Papilla morphology appeared to be influenced most by horizontal distance and the adjacent tooth bone height.Background. The relationships between crestal bone topography and implant positioning on interproximal soft tissue morphology adjacent to sintered porous-surfaced (SPS) dental implants were investigated.Methods. Assessment of implant position and osseous topography of 102 SPS implants was conducted using digitized standardized radiographs and interpreted with computer software. Gingival papilla morphology was assessed using the Jemt Papillary index from digital photos.
