VIRTUALLY DESIGNING A CUSTOMIZED HEALING ABUTMENT

摘要

Disclosed is a method of virtually designing a customized healing abutment and a drill guide for a patient, where the method comprises: - obtaining a CT scan comprising at least part of the patient's jaw bone; - virtually placing at least one implant relative to the jaw bone of the CT scan, such that a planned implant placement is defined; - virtually designing: - a drill guide for guiding the surgical drilling of a bore for the implant into the patient's jaw bone at the planned implant placement; and - a customized healing abutment configured for shaping the soft tissue according to a target profile when arranged in the implant; where the design of the drill guide and of the customized healing abutment is at least partly based on the CT scan and on the planned implant placement.
