Abstract
One of the key tasks of implantology is to achieve a natural aesthetic result, which requires the preservation or restoration of tissues around the implant.1 The tissues around implants differ from those around teeth because they lack a periodontium, which disrupts nutrition and leads to the loss of hard tissue. This, in turn, causes the interdental papilla to shift apically and worsens the aesthetics. Standard gingival cuff formers have a round cross-section, which can complicate the healing process of soft tissues. To achieve a natural appearance of the tissues, it is recommended to create an individual former.2 A combination of laboratory and intraoral methods allows for the production of a former that precisely follows the contour of the gum for orthopedic restoration.
