score of PES was14 and the lowest was 7, the mean PES was 10.33±1.58. The soft tissue texture had the highest average score, 1.97±0.18, the mesial papilla and distal papilla had the lowest average scores, 1.13±0.72 and 1.13±0.76. 73% patients were satisfied with the aesthetic results, 27% were basically satisfied. Most patients were satisfied with prosthetic results. Conclusion Implant crowns can satisfy patients’ aesthetic requisition. PES standard can be used to objectively evaluate aesthetic effectiveness of soft tissue around the implant-supported single crowns. Dental papilla is an important factor influencing the aesthetic effectiveness of soft tissue around implant crowns.
