Anatomical and scannable healing abutments

An anatomical healing abutment comprising:

• a connection portion configured for engagement with a dental implant;
• and
• an anatomical portion integrally connected to the connection portion, wherein a supragingival surface has an anatomical shape corresponding to a shape of a cementoenamel junction of a natural tooth type and a marking protocol comprising at least one visual marker configured to provide visual identification to the practitioner of a height and/or buccal-lingual orientation of the anatomical healing abutment,
• wherein a shape of the supragingival surface is used digitally to detect implant location and/or orientation.

A system of anatomical healing abutments for dental implant surgery, comprising:

• at least one healing abutment comprising:
• a connection portion configured for engagement with a dental implant;
• an anatomical portion integrally connected to the connection portion, wherein the anatomical portion has an anatomical shape corresponding with a shape of a cementoenamel junction of a natural tooth type, and wherein the anatomical portion comprises a supragingival surface comprising a first visual marker, wherein a shape of the supragingival surface is used to digitally to detect implant location and/or orientation,
• wherein the first visual marker is a notch configured to provide visual identification to the practitioner of a height and/or buccal-lingual orientation of the anatomical healing abutment, wherein the first visual marker is not used digitally to detect implant location and/or orientation, and
• wherein at least one of the healing abutments in the system comprises a second visual marker, wherein the second visual marker is comprised of one or more dimples configured to provide visual identification to the practitioner of one or both of a size and type of the connection portion;
• and
• wherein when the healing abutment is engaged with the dental implant, a head of an abutment screw is substantially flush with the supragingival surface to form a seal.
