Abstract:
This clinical technique describes a method of fabricating a 1-piece computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) printed custom healing abutment. A digital surgical guide and a virtual model based on the proposed implant position were generated. Then, a digitally designed healing abutment was fabricated using the Dental Designer software program. The definitive abutment design was printed from an interim crown resin material. The described method combines the guided implant placement and a 1-piece CAD-CAM printed custom healing abutment to develop appropriate tissue contours.
