This case demonstrates the simple and straightforward technique for restoring a maxillary molar with a Bicon SHORT® Implant and a digitally-designed Zirconia crown using a Bicon Millable Abutment Blank to mill a custom abutment. Since Bicon’s unique locking taper allows for crowns to be cemented extra-orally, extraneous cement can be completely avoided.
TOPICS: CAD/CAM Millable Abutment Blanks
