Abstract:
In the esthetic zone, the placement of an interim prosthesis is an important stage in implant treatment for gingival contouring. This article presents a simple procedure for making an intraoperative implant position transfer to construct an interim prosthesis with optimal shape and emergence profile. This prosthesis, inserted at stage II surgery, guides soft tissue healing and aids in the fabrication of a definitive prosthesis with optimal gingival contours.
