title: The use of customized implant frameworks with gingiva-colored composite resin to restore deficient gingival architecture.
abstract: This article describes a technique for fabricating cement-retained crowns over a customized gingiva-colored composite resin screw-retained implant infrastructure. This prosthetic design is not significantly influenced by unsuitable implant position, alignment, or angulation. Consequently, the cement-retained crowns can be reproduced in an esthetically and functionally appropriate morphology, regardless of where the screw-access openings are located in the infrastructure.
