Case report using the "H" abutment: achieving esthetics, strength, and predictability for the anterior implant

Replacing an anterior tooth using a dental implant has long been a challenge for most clinicians. Implant abutment selection is a crucial aspect of maximizing esthetics, strength, and customization. The author has experienced significant success in this regard over a period of more than 7 years using a lithium-disilicate "H" ("Hybrid") abutment. In this case presentation, a procedure is described for providing these highly esthetic abutment-supported restorations, which may offer significant advantages over traditional options.
