Emergence profiles in natural tooth contour. Part I: Photographic observations.

Photographic data revealed that in natural teeth, straight emergence profiles are the norm. Since one objective of restoration design is to accurately replace missing tooth structure by using reliable anatomic model, reproduction of the appropriate emergence profile is essential.
