A patient underwent immediate implant placement and immediate provisional restoration
with nonocclusal loading in the right central incisor area. A provisional custom abutment
and a cemented provisional restoration were fabricated. At the impression appointment,
an implant level impression was made and the provisional abutment was scanned for
fabrication of the definitive custom abutment. This clinical report describes how
CAD/CAM technology can facilitate the definitive restoration of immediately placed
and loaded implants by allowing the fabrication of the definitive abutment as an exact
duplicate of the provisional abutment.
