The Bicon Integrated Abutment Crown™ (IAC) is a cementless and screwless crown made possible by the 360˚ of universal abutment positioning of Bicon’s 1.5˚ locking taper implant-abutment connection. The IAC is made from a polyceramic material. The Integrated Abutment Crown™ begins with an implant level impression and the preparation of a chamfer margin on a non-shouldered or shouldered abutment. The abutment is then prepared, opaqued, and successive layers of the light cured polyceramic material are bonded directly onto the abutment to form the IAC.
