Shape-defined PEEK healing caps – for a natural emergence profile
The Gingividual Concept Basic is designed on the nature’s anatomical structure. The toothshaped healing caps made of the tissue-friendly material PEEK1-3 enable anatomical shaping of the soft tissue. This not only offers esthetic advantages, but also preserves the surrounding hard and soft tissue during immediate implantation4.
The healing caps can be scanned and thus support the digital workflow. The products are supplied sterile.

Benefits at a glance
- Anatomical, esthetic shaping of the soft tissue
- Tooth position-specific shapes for an optimal emergence profile
- Reduced chairside time through fewer clinical steps
- Predefined emergence profile available via exocad and 3Shape libraries
- Buccal scan marking aligned with a cam on the implant-abutment connection for easy positioning on the implant
- Based on the „One Abutment, One Time“ concept, with less soft tissue disturbance
