This is a clinical case that shows how to take impressions without using any impression coping or any retraction cord around the implant.

On day of surgery or some days after the surgery, it is important to SCAN the abutments of the implants in the mouth, BEFORE doing any modification, any preparation with a diamond bur.

As long as the implant remains intact, it is going to be possible to match the implant with a digital mesh of a Lab Analogue.

As you can see on this case below, on day of the surgery, the shoulder of the implants is left subgingival. On the video, below it can be seen the scan on the day of the surgery.
