CAD/CAM ; implant ; zirconia abutment ; early implantation
Abstract
In this report, the anterior implant restolation was based on an abutment fabricated through CAD/CAM. Though conventional titanium abutments have proven to be excellent, the clinical result may be unesthetic mainly due
to cervical discololation. Therefore zirconia abutment was selected. Among the two types of zirconia abutment, one-piece zirconia abutment and zirconia-titanium abutment, zirconia-titanium abutment was selected on the flnal
restoration, due to the possibility of wear between implant fixture and zirconia abutment, and the fracture strength of one-piece zirconia abutment. During short tenm follow up the patient presents esthetic result and is functionally
satisfied.
