technological developments, it has become a quick procedure with accurate results. The goal of this work was to demonstrate
the fabrication of a lithium disilicate ceramic implant prosthesis using a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing
(CAD/CAM) system, in which the gingival tissue scanning was performed without using any artifacts such as an individualized
scanbody. The procedures were performed on a cone Morse implant installed in the region of tooth 24, which had been
extracted because of a root fracture. Scanning was performed using a BlueCam camera (Sirona, Bensheim, Germany) and an
image containing the necessary information for the virtual construction of the restoration was sent to a laboratory. The lithium
disilicate ceramic crown, prior to crystallization, was sent to a dentist for try-in and clinical adjustments. Subsequently,
crystallization and staining for color-matching were performed, and finally, the crown was installed in the patientâ€™s mouth. In
conclusion, the scanning technique used provided an adequate, esthetically pleasing emergency profile in the region, without
the need for the individualization of the scanbody
