  • Patent number: 10949575
    Abstract: A system that includes a gingiva former, a final abutment, and a final implant replacement. The gingiva former includes connecting geometry for attachment to an implant, a customized edge, a tapered bottom portion, and a tapered top portion that includes a circumferential surface. The customized edge and the tapered bottom portion have respective shapes that correspond to a 3D data set of a region of the final abutment that includes and is below an edge of the final abutment. The circumferential surface and a longitudinal axis of the connecting geometry form an angle of inclination. The customized edge of the gingiva former either (i) corresponds to a gingival line of the final implant replacement or (ii) is at a distance from the gingival line of the final implant replacement such that the gingival line of the final implant replacement is above the edge of the gingiva former.
