Virtual abutment design: a concept for delivery of CAD/CAM customized abutments-- report of a retrospective cohort.
This report presents early clinical experiences with the treatment of a consecutive cohort of 89 patients who received 125 prostheses supported by 205 milled abutments. Abutments were fabricated using unique computer-aided design software to deliver both titanium and zirconia abutments based on idealized values for tooth dimensions and emergence profiles as well as on a scan of the proposed definitive prosthesis.
