title: Transfer of gingival contours to a master cast.
abstract: This procedure provides a means for transferring intraorally formed gingival sulcular contours surrounding a single-tooth implant-supported provisional restoration to a master cast. When this procedure is used, the final fixed prosthesis may be made in the laboratory with gingival contours identical to those developed on the provisional restoration.
