Soft tissue collapse around dental implants can be prevented. A novel technique uses the provisional prosthesis as a custom coping for accurate implant and soft tissue impression, ensuring precise single-tooth restorations.

Area of Science:

  • Dental implantology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Soft tissue collapse around submerged implant components can compromise impression accuracy.
  • Accurate recording of implant position and soft tissue architecture is crucial for successful single-tooth restorations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a technique for accurate impression making in implant dentistry.
  • To utilize the provisional prosthesis as a custom impression coping to overcome soft tissue collapse.

Main Methods:

  • A technique is presented where the provisional prosthesis is modified to serve as an impression coping.
  • This custom coping captures both the implant/abutment position and the surrounding soft tissue morphology.

Main Results:

  • The described technique allows for precise recording of implant and soft tissue position.
  • It effectively prevents soft tissue collapse during the impression procedure.

Conclusions:

  • The use of a provisional prosthesis as a custom implant impression coping is a viable method.
  • This technique enhances accuracy in single-tooth implant restorations by managing soft tissue support.
