ABSTRACT:
A device made of a tissue-compatible material is intended to temporarily cover a spacer of a dental implant during a period of incorporation of the dental implant, preferably in a single-tooth replacement. The base section of the device is designed in such a way that it guides the healing of the mucous membrane to assume a contour such that securing of the final crown is facilitated, and a certain possibility of controlling the seam between the final crown and the spacer is afforded. The device is preferably made of an elastic material for good clamp fitting on the spacer, as a result of which the use of paste, dental cement or the like is eliminated.
