      I haven’t taken an analog impression for these cases for quite a long time but whether it’s analog or digital we want to capture the soft tissue well for our future restorations.

      • How do you capture soft tissue in a digital impression? It seems when I remove the healing/custom healing abutment, the tissue immediately starts to collapse and I can’t maintain the soft tissue profile.

        • Hey Talha, yes the tissue does clapse quickly but you do have a few minutes where it is very stable, So, as soon as you remove the healing abutment you take your soft tissue digital scan and/or your put your analog impression coping in and take your impression. If you do it promptly then it is not a problem at all.

          • What did you sue here? I typically use a flowable composite.

            • Many different materials you can use here and yes flowable works fine as well. This is a light cure resin, same that I use with my full arch impressions splinting the impression copings together when I did it analog style.
