Abstract

This technique article describes the duplication of a definitive implant-supported computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD-CAM) crown with soft-tissue modification on a misplaced implant. Gingival contours were ideally shaped in the stone die, and a custom healing abutment was designed. After scanning the modified surface, images were correlated with the initial intraoral digital scan, and the definitive restoration was designed, milled, and delivered with an ideal soft-tissue emergence profile.
