  • Title: A technique to convert a 3D printed cast used in the fabrication of an interim implant-supported crown into a definitive cast capturing the acquired emergence profile.
    Author: Mohsen R, Chen YJ, Liu F.
    Journal: J Prosthodont; 2024 Oct; 33(8):829-832. PubMed ID: 37658787.
    Abstract:
    An esthetic peri-implant soft tissue contour is a critical element of the success of implant restorations in the esthetic zone. Once the optimal transmucosal soft tissue profile is formed, it needs to be accurately replicated on the master cast. This clinical technique involves the utilization of a silicone putty positioning index placed in the patient's mouth to accurately duplicate the external contour of teeth and soft tissue. By combining this positioning index with the implant-supported interim crown, the 3D-printed initial cast, which was used to fabricate the interim crown, can be conveniently and efficiently transformed into a definitive master cast.
