To point out the use of CAD-CAM techniques in the construction of titanium customized abutment. MATERIALS AND METHODS. After evaluating the different uses of CAD-CAM techniques in dentistry over the past twenty years, the authors describe the pros and cons of currently available abutments: stock abutment, cast custom abutment (full and UCLA) and CAD-CAM abutment. After reviewing the literature about discrepancies in abutment-implant connection and freedom of rotation of CAD-CAM customized titanium abutment, the authors describe the construction of CAD-CAM abutment step by step from impression taking to finishing and polishing. CONCLUSIONS. The latest scanning technology and CADCAM production systems enable the construction of extremely accurate and perfectly fitting titanium abutments.

Abstract
To point out the use of CAD-CAM techniques in the construction of titanium customized abutment. MATERIALS AND METHODS. After evaluating the different uses of CAD-CAM techniques in dentistry over the past twenty years, the authors describe the pros and cons of currently available abutments: stock abutment, cast custom abutment (full and UCLA) and CAD-CAM abutment. After reviewing the literature about discrepancies in abutment-implant connection and freedom of rotation of CAD-CAM customized titanium abutment, the authors describe the construction of CAD-CAM abutment step by step from impression taking to finishing and polishing. CONCLUSIONS. The latest scanning technology and CADCAM production systems enable the construction of extremely accurate and perfectly fitting titanium abutments.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
