Abstract: Most common complications after extraction of single tooth is the soft tissue change specially in anterior region results in an unesthetic appearance. In today’s world, preservation of soft tissue and gingival aesthetics has been gaining immense importance. Ovate pontic helps in maintenance of interproximal soft tissue and also preservation of the interdental papilla, which in turn preserves the natural gingival contour after extraction. The ovate pontic creates an illusion that the pontic is emerging from the gingiva. Alveolar ridge deficiency is considered a major esthetic limitation, especially in the maxillary anterior region. Several approaches have been developed to enhance and increase soft tissue volume. Among those approaches are connective tissue grafts, platelet rich fibrin (PRF) membrane. This case report discusses about how a combined approach of the use of PRF along with ovate designed provisional restoration significantly changes the esthetic appearance of the patient.
