Abstract
A healing abutment embedded in edentulous bone remains in its implantation site in contouring contact with gingival tissue and has an impression coping mounted directly thereon for data transfer of the healing abutment position and shape to a replica of the implantation site on which a restorative prosthesis is formed. The prosthesis is transferred to the actual implantation site after removal of the healing abutment therefore when the gingival tissue has healed.
