title: The use of a scannable impression coping and digital impression technique to fabricate a customized anatomic abutment and zirconia restoration in the esthetic zone.
abstract: This report described the fabrication of a customized anatomic abutment and zirconia restoration in the esthetic zone with a digital pathway. The implant level impression was made with a scannable impression coping and intraoral digital scanner. The milled definitive polyurethane cast with corresponding implant analog, customized anatomic abutment, and definitive zirconia restoration were made with a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) process.
