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.
