Abstract:
In the restoration of a single anterior edentulous space with a dental implant, there are three transmucosal elements that could be used within the Nobel Biocare system: the CeraOne abutment, the Estheticone abutment with a nonrotating gold cylinder, and the CerAdapt abutment. This article describes a procedure to modify the CeraOne cylindric titanium abutment with titanium ceramics to achieve an anatomically shaped transmucosal element that does not show evidence of the metal through thin gingival tissue.
