Abstract

CAD/CAM systems (computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacturing) used for decades in restorative dentistry have its application to implant dentistry. This study aimed to overview CAD/CAM systems used implant dentistry, especially emphasizing custom implant abutments manufacturing. CAD/CAM custom abutments present the advantages of being specific to each patient and providing a better fit than the stock and cast custom abutments. This cutting edge technology of virtual-designed and computer-milled implant abutments will likely replace traditional implant restorative protocols and become the standard for implant dentistry in the foreseeable future.
