ABSTRACT:
A tooth replacement including an implant (24), abutment (2), and crown, where the abutment is shaped to match the tooth being replaced in inclination, orientation and gingival emerging profile. A method is also claimed where measurements of the teeth adjacent to the implant are taken along with other relevant oral measurements. These measurements are input to a computer which generates data for guidance and control of the forming of an abutment, including at least the size, shape, inclination, and orientation of the abutment. The abutment shape corresponds to that of the tooth being replaced, but of a reduced size such that the crown attached to the abutment matches the tooth being replaced. Preferentially, the abutment is both the healing and the permanent abutment which saves time, money and aggravation. The abutment is made of anyone or combinations of several metals and materials benign to the body, as are known in the art.
