## TL;DR

This case report shows how combining digital and traditional methods can improve the appearance and hygiene of dental implants.

## Contribution

The paper introduces a combined digital and analog protocol using a custom healing abutment system for provisional implant restorations.

## Key findings

- Combining digital and analog methods allows precise customization of implant emergence profiles.
- The Cervico system helps create a provisional restoration that supports hygiene and aesthetics.
- The approach delivers an effective interim prosthesis after implant placement.

## Abstract

The emergence profile in implant restoration has an important contribution to the final esthetic result. Moreover, a properly shaped emergence profile enables well-performed dental hygiene and protects the implant-restoration complex from peri-implant infections. This report describes a clinical case that combines digital workflow and designing with a custom implant healing abutment system (Cervico). This system is utilized to customize the provisional restoration’s emergence profile with the conventional processing along with the digitally designed and milled provisional restoration to deliver an interim prosthesis after implant placement.

Key words:Cervico, Customized emergence profile, Digital Dentistry, Implant surgical guide, Implant provisionals.
