Abstract

This article describes an indirect impression technique that accurately captures the soft tissue contours around an implant-supported provisional restoration. Customized impression copings are used to transfer the soft tissue architecture created by the interim prosthesis. The definitive restoration is shaped like the provisional restoration, maintaining the emergence profile and optimizing esthetics.
