ental implantology is being widely improved with CAD/
CAM technologies introducing new solutions in key steps in
implant therapy. Treatment planning, guided surgery, intraoral
impressions, restoration fabrication can be accomplished with
reduced clinical and laboratorial fabrication steps. Clinicians can
now offer better final outcomes for dental implants with better
fit and more aesthetic restorations, improved biocompatibility
and resistance, thus avoiding inaccuracies that can occur from
dental materials and reducing the chance of human errors.
Current CAD/CAM systems permit the fabrication of customized
abutments using a variety of materials and design strategies.
Some dental implant manufacturers recommend that Ti-based
abutments should be used and onto which a monolithic crown or
a mesostructure can be designed, however directly designing a
customized abutment including the implant-abutment interface
could be manufactured using materials and strategies from
bench-top laboratory machines. Recent scientific findings
suggest that CAD/CAM systems can provide accurate implant-
abutment interface, however some manufacturing factors may
interfere with such high standard adaptation, including the use
of additive or subtractive strategies, the quality of the milling
machine and the intrinsic properties of the preparation material.
The objective of this lecture will be to present recent advances
in CAD/CAM dental abutment technologies and strategies, to the
light of scientific evidence.
