Abstract
Purpose of Review
The purpose of this review is to discuss the use of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) custom abutments in the anterior region with a focus on abutment design and material selection. Advantages, disadvantages, and complications of CAD/CAM abutments are also considered.
Recent Findings
CAD/CAM abutments are available in various materials and with different connection platforms to the implant in order to meet esthetic, functional, and biological demands. Use of CAD/CAM concepts in the fabrication of custom abutments allows for definite advantages over both stock abutments and conventional cast custom abutments.
Summary
CAD/CAM technology should be considered when restoring dental implants in the esthetic zone.
