A custom CAD-CAM resilient attachment: A dental technique.

Custom resilient attachments can be used for removable as well as fixed implant-supported prostheses, with the proposed tooth position being visualized in relation to the underlying metal framework, abutments, and implant positions. Custom resilient attachments and the framework for implant overdentures can be designed together using a computer-aided design software program. Computer-aided designed and computer-aided manufactured (CAD-CAM) custom resilient attachments offer greater angulation compensation than standard attachments when clinically required while accounting for biological, mechanical, and esthetic factors.

Clinical outcomes of single implant supported crowns utilising the titanium base abutment: A 7.5-year prospective cohort study.

Objective: To assess radiographic, clinical and patient-reported outcomes of single zirconia implant-supported crowns on titanium base abutments (TBA) over a 7.5-year period.

Methods: Twenty-four patients received bone-level titanium implants and screw-retained zirconia implant crowns utilising TBA.
