Abstract
The esthetics and emergence profile design of implant-supported restorations in the
anterior zone can be challenging. This dental technique describes a digital approach
to designing an optimal emergence profile from the implant head to the definitive
prosthetic volume with facial cutback for an esthetic implant-supported interim crown.
A printed interim implant-supported restoration with an adequate emergence profile
and a facial cutback for composite resin layering is obtained.
