description The prosthetic emergence profile is a factor potentially affecting marginal bone level around dental implants. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the influence of the prosthetic emergence profile on peri-implant marginal bone-level stability. The marginal bone level is an important parameter in implant dentistry, reflecting the stability of dental implants, and it is a critical indicator of long-term implant success. Minimizing marginal bone loss around dental implants is a key factor for maintaining implant function, supporting peri-implant soft tissues, and achieving predictable aesthetic outcomes. The scientific literature presents various examples of evidence on the influence of emergence angle and prosthetic designs on marginal bone loss. Several studies suggest that emergence angles exceeding 30° and convex prosthetic designs may increase the risk of peri-implantitis and bone resorption, while others find no significant correlation. Moreover, several studies demonstrated the positive influence of taper joint connections on marginal bone stability. Although the current literature remains diverse, it is essential to prioritize cleanability and minimize plaque accumulation for a successful implant-prosthetic restoration. Proper maintenance and a continuous follow-up to monitor marginal bone loss are beneficial for obtaining stable and optimal long-term results.
