An adjustment of a few degrees and a check of the occlusion make it pos- sible to position the vestibular gingival edgeperfectlyand,mostoften,tousethe abutment without any alteration, which substantially simplifies the rest of the prosthetic chain. Keep manipulations of the abutment to a minimum. In orderto respect the principle of OAOT duringthefittingoftheprovisionalcrown, a provisional resin coping is prepared on a straight or angled abutment, depending on the clinical requirement, along with a resin veneer created from a prosthetic tooth (Figs.  4a–c). The resin coping is bonded in the mouth to the veneer using a minimal quantity of resin in order to avoiddirectpollutionofthesofttissuesby thecytotoxicresinmonomer(Figs. 5a–e). The use of a standard abutment and a pro- visional coping makes the fabrication of temporary crowns very quick and simple while also respecting the principle of OAOT. — Emergence profile When putting the provisional tooth in place, it is preferable to give it an initial emergenceprofilethatisconcaveinorder to allow healing of the papilla with the maximumspaceavailable.Aconvexprofile Fig. 3 Surgical kit with 3.0, NP and RP angled abutments (NobelActive system).
