1. Insert the appropriate non-shouldered abutment. The width of the abutment is dictated by the anatomy of the interdental papillae. The abutment should support the papillae without encroaching upon them.
2. Tap the abutment in the long axis of the abutment post and implant well.
3. Snap on appropriate acrylic temporization sleeve.
4. Add transitional material to a modified or unmodified sleeve.
5. Wait for soft tissue healing.
6.Make an indirect abutment level transfer impression by injecting impression material around the non-shouldered impression sleeve and abutment.
Notes: Statistically, a 2.0mm diameter abutment post will move 0.1mm into the well of an implant from its initial insertion to its being definitively seated, and a 3.0mm abutment will move 0.25mm.
