Multi-piece abutment and digital method for preparation of a dental implant surgical site for the promotion of a desired emergent sulcus

A dental implant system for promoting a desired emergent sulcus profile, the system comprising:

• (a) a dental implant comprising an implant receptacle;
• and
• (b) a multiple-piece abutment configured to attach to an implant, the multiple-piece abutment comprising:
• (i) an abutment base configured to support a desired emergent sulcus profile, wherein the abutment base defines:
• (A) an angled base channel extending along a first axis, and
• (B) a second channel extending along a second axis, wherein the first axis and the second axis define an oblique angle,
• (ii) a base fastener configured to extend through the angled base channel and couple the abutment base with the dental implant via the implant receptacle,
• (iii) an abutment cap configured to removably attach to the abutment base, wherein the abutment cap comprises a cap base configured to rest within the second channel when the abutment cap is attached to the abutment base;
• and
• (iv) a cap fastener configured to extend within the second channel to couple the abutment cap with the abutment base.

A multiple-piece abutment, comprising:

• (a) an abutment base configured to attach to a dental implant, wherein the abutment base defines a first channel extending along a first axis and a second channel extending along a second axis, wherein the first axis and the second axis define an oblique angle;
• (b) a base fastener configured to extend through the first channel couple the abutment base with the dental implant;
• (c) an abutment cap configured to removably attach to an abutment base, wherein the abutment cap comprises a cap projection configured to rest within the first channel of the abutment base while the abutment cap is attached to the abutment base, wherein the abutment cap defines a cap channel;
• and
• (d) a cap fastener configured to extend through the cap channel and the second channel to couple the abutment cap with the abutment base.
