Popis: The complexity and labor-intensive nature of making implant-level impressions may inhibit some clinicians from recommending dental implant treatment. This paper describes a simplified impression technique for fabricating anatomical, cement-retained abutments without removing or inserting implant components. Using digitally coded healing abutments, this protocol bridges the gap between traditional impressions and computer-aided abutment manufacturing. Basic logistic considerations are reviewed, as well as other biomechanic and esthetic advantages, that should optimize overall treatment outcomes.
