ABSTRACT
A digital method for capturing the acquired emergence profile from contoured implant interim restorations is described. Three separate digital scans were made by using an intraoral scanner and aligned by using a design software program capable of merging and alignment. The Boolean Difference function was then performed by using a free software program to obtain the emergence profile. This technique may be less time-consuming than analog methods and may be more accurate than existing digital methods.
