Abstract
Several protocols have been used with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture
(CAD-CAM) prostheses after image-guided implant surgery based on a prosthetically
driven surgical plan. For delayed approaches, a CAD-CAM custom healing abutment can
be manufactured before the surgery and installed immediately after implant placement.
However, information on the use of emergence profile segmentation on which to base
the digital design and on the use of low-cost 3-dimensional printers to produce custom
healing abutments are lacking. The purpose of this article was to present a fully
digital workflow to digitally design and 3-dimensionally print custom healing abutments
with a biocompatible light-polymerizing resin based on the natural emergence profile
of the tooth to be replaced.
