Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Obtaining a perfect integration of a prosthetic rehabilitation on natural teeth and implantys in the esthetic zone requires a deep knowledge of the biological processes and a clear understanding of the characteristics of the restorative materials. Once the soft tissue profile has been created with the placement of a temporary prosthesis, the ability to accurately transfer information about the tissue profile and the contour of the restoration for the fabrication of the definitive crowns can be challenging. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This paper illustrate the copy paste full digital workflow, a simple protocol that allows to create definitive restorations by making an exact copy of the temporary prosthesis that has been placed in function in the patient's mouth.
