NEP (Natural Emergence Profile) is an important concept for soft tissue management and aesthetics in dental implants. Here is more information:

• What is the Emergence Profile?
  
• The Emergence profile is the intersection of the surgical and prosthetic worlds. This profile provides a smooth transition from the circular structure of the implant platform to the natural shape of the tooth at the gingival level. It must be customized for each restoration 
  
• Ovat Pontic and Emergence Profile
  
• In order to achieve a perfect and natural appearance for Ovat pontics, it is necessary to pre-plan the soft tissues.
  
• The three possible techniques for creating the emergence profile for Ovat pontics are:
  
• Before the impression, during the temporary restoration: Management of the soft tissues can be done at this stage.
  
• During impression taking: One can also work in this phase to create the emergence profile.

This concept is important for aesthetic and functional success and must be carefully managed to achieve a natural appearance.
