Abstract

Risks of esthetic complications have been reported following dental implant insertion; hence it was suggested that a customized healing abutment could improve the peri-implant tissue healing. Anatomically contoured healing abutments (also called customized healing abutments) help to contain and protect the slow – Resorbing bone grafts, resulting in bone and soft tissue volume augmentation. Even in healed sites, customized healing abutments have shown a favourable outcome as compared to standard healing abutments. This article describes a simple chairside fabrication of precisely contoured healing abutment which will eventually result in a natural contoured soft tissue enhancing the esthetics of the restoration.
