The permanent abutment seated in an implant analog in the stone model.
3.
After micro sand blasting the prosthetic head of the permanent abutment with 50 microns of alumina, the abutment was cleaned with 95% ethyl alcohol in an ultrasonic bath for five minutes. After being thoroughly jet air dried, five consecutive layers of metal coupler is being applied prior to being placed in an oven at 250° F for five minutes without vacuum.
4.
A single coat of the liquid and powder metal opaque mixture was applied to the treated abutment surface using a disposable tip before being placed in an oven under vacuum for five minutes at 250° F. Then, the abutment was bench cooled for one minute prior to the application of a thin coat of modeling liquid that was cured in a halogen light-curing booth for one minute.
5.
The superstructure is built using the appropriate polyceramic material: opaque dentin, dentin enamel, incisal and intermittent stain characterizers, intensifiers, and modifiers.

Each layer must be polymerized for two minutes in a halogen light curing booth before another layer is applied, except for the enamel layer that should have the appropriate incisal color added for the desired shade before curing.
