Abstract


Due to the success of osseointegration and improved surgical protocols, implant placement has become a routine practice in most of the dental clinics. The latest developments focus on the implant superstructure and prosthodontic phase. In digitally driven world, use of virtually designed and milled implant abutments is growing exponentially. More and more dentists are going in for customised milled abutments for predicable soft tissue contours and esthetics. The present article discusses about the restorative options for a few clinical situations where custom milled abutments seemed a best option.
