title: Provisional polymer-based CAD/CAM implant superstructures.
abstract: The prosthetic restoration of implants to obtain an esthetically balanced outcome is an extremely complex process--especially in terms of effective soft-tissue management. So-called hybrid abutment crowns, which can be made from polymer milling blocks in an uncomplicated process and used for immediate provisional restoration, represent an advance in the efficient production of superstructures.
