Dental restoration system and method of building a restoration

A method of building a restoration on an implant construction set into a jaw of a patient, comprising:

• mounting a gingiva former to the implant construction;
• positioning a crown abutment on the gingiva former, wherein the crown abutment has a through hole configured to receive a locking member such that the contact face of the locking member contacts the crown abutment and a fixing structure of the locking member at least partially extends out of the crown abutment to the gingiva former;
• arranging a pin with a fixing structure corresponding to the fixing structure of the locking member into the though hole of the crown abutment such that the pin extends through the through hole of the crown abutment, the fixing structure of the pin engages the gingiva former, and the pin projects above the crown abutment;
• building-up a crown with a crown material bonding with the crown abutment and not bonding with the pin;
• removing the pin such that a through hole is provided in the crown;
• and
• fixing the crown to the gingiva former by means of a locking member having a contact face and a fixing structure configured to be fixed to the gingiva former, wherein the locking member is received in the through hole of the crown abutment such that the contact face of the locking member contacts the crown abutment and the fixing structure engages the gingiva former.
