Method for making a rapid prototype of a patient's mouth to be used in the design and fabrication of a dental prosthesis, comprising the steps of: - taking an impression of a mouth including a first installation site having a dental implant installed in the first installation site and a gingival healing abutment having at least one informational marker attached to the implant； - preparing a stone model based on the impression, including teeth models and model markers indicative of the at least one informational marker； - scanning the stone model； - transferring the scan data to a CAD program； - creating a three-dimensional model of the installation site in the CAD program； - determining the at least one informational marker to gather information for manufacturing the rapid prototype； - developing rapid prototype dimensional information； - fabricating a rapid prototype of the patient's dentition as well as a dental implant analog position.
