title: Simple method of fabricating an impression coping to reproduce peri-implant gingiva on the master cast.
abstract: This article describes a simple technique in which a custom impression coping is fabricated with flowable composite and used to reproduce peri-implant soft tissues on the master cast. This procedure is designed to generate an accurate reproduction of the gingival contours surrounding the implant, thus contributing to a final restoration with favorable esthetics.
