Abstract 

The anterior single-tooth implant presents many restorative challenges. Several abutments have been developed in pursuit of an esthetic and functional solution. This article describes a technique for a custom abutment. This abutment is copy-milled from titanium in an anatomic form with a countertorque device and provides the flexibility to create an esthetic restoration for the anterior single-tooth implant.
