title: A soft tissue simulated cast for implant prosthesis.
abstract: A master cast that simulates the mucosa around implant fixtures and abutments facilitates implant prosthesis fabrication. It is helpful if this simulation is not altered during laboratory procedures. A technique is described for a master cast that includes a removable mucosal component. This technique can be applied when either implant or abutment analogs are positioned in the cast.
