Abstract:
As single-tooth replacement becomes an accepted part of daily practice, demands for optimum esthetics in implant-supported crowns increase. Most healing abutments and transfer copings are round and do not simulate the normal cross section of anterior teeth, resulting in unnatural sulcular form around implant abutments. This article presents a simple and economical method to develop and reproduce an optimum emergence profile in the implant crown using standard Nobelpharma components.
