Area of Science:

Dental implantology
Prosthodontics
Esthetic dentistry

Background:

The esthetic success of implant-supported restorations depends on the harmony between the prosthesis and peri-implant tissues.
Accurate soft-tissue management is essential for predictable esthetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a clinical technique for accurately registering and transferring the soft-tissue transition zone.
To improve the esthetic outcome of definitive implant restorations.

Main Methods:

Utilized an implant analog holder and autopolymerizing acrylic resin.
Registered the soft-tissue transition zone created by the interim restoration.
Transferred this registration to the impression post for the definitive impression.
