1. Select the largest profile  Encode® Healing Abutment for the implant site.

2. The Encode® Healing Abutment should protrude through the soft tissue at least 2mm. Radiograph the interface to verify the abutment is completely seated.

3. Syringe impression material around the entire Encode® Healing Abutment and adjacent teeth. Load impression tray and seat in the mouth. Allow impression material to set, per manufacturers instructions.

4. After material has set, remove impression from mouth, check to make sure markings on the occlusal of the healing abutment are visible. Take an impression of the opposing arch, a check bite, and a shade, send to the lab.

6. Remove the Encode® Healing Abutment.

7. Seat Encode® Abutment with markings toward the facial with the try-in screw. Radiograph the interface to verify the abutment is completely seated.
