A digital protocol for the fabrication of anatomic-contour implant zirconia crowns directly screwed on external hexagonal implant connections without the interposition of a Ti-base component.

A straightforward and effective restorative option is proposed for implant-supported fixed prostheses with external connections by using monolithic zirconia without the interposition of a Ti-base component. The technique is based on a modification of the Brånemark connection used to link metal-ceram...

Description
Summary:A straightforward and effective restorative option is proposed for implant-supported fixed prostheses with external connections by using monolithic zirconia without the interposition of a Ti-base component. The technique is based on a modification of the Brånemark connection used to link metal-ceramic or metal-composite resin restorations directly to the implant.
