title: Developing an optimal emergence profile of the definitive restoration with a modified impression cap technique for ITI solid abutment.
abstract: There appears to be no convenient method for fabricating an optimal emergence profile for the definitive restoration of an ITI solid abutment when the implant is installed subgingivally. This article describes an efficient technique to solve this problem and reviews its advantages and disadvantages.
