mitigate the painful and disruptive
blanching often associated with seating
a final abutment through tissue
that has been left to form around a
stock healing abutment.
Summary
A prefabricated implant abutment is
often viewed as the most immediate,
least expensive option for restoring
implant cases. But a patient-specific
abutment that takes into consideration
the unique anatomical qualities of
the patient’s edentulous space will, in
most situations, provide more reliable
function and more natural esthetics,
maximizing long-term health and performance.
As technological advancements
decrease the costs associated
with the design and manufacture of
digital custom solutions, clinician demand
for traditional cast and stock
abutments is rapidly waning in favor
of CAD/CAM precision and efficiency.
Available for most major implant systems,
Inclusive Custom Abutments
consistently deliver the high quality
that clinicians expect. IM
