Maedica (Bucur). 2021 Mar;16(1):145-148. doi: 10.26574/maedica.2020.16.1.145.

Abstract

A prerequisite of a functional and esthetical implant-supported crown is a proper surgical planning and an abutment with a design and color that maintain the initial soft-tissue contour. This clinical report describes the use of a custom ceramic implant abutment designed with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. A zirconia framework was milled and cemented extra orally to a prefabricated titanium base, the new custom abutment being both precise and esthetic.
