Fig. 1From: Cross-sectional analysis comparing prefabricated titanium to individualized hybrid zirconia abutments for cemented zirconia based fixed dental prostheses: a critical concept assessmentLaboratory (blue) and clinical prosthetic (brown) workflow: The procedure that applies to both abutment types can be found in the middle. Deviations from this procedure can be found on the left for titanium abutments and on the right for zirconium abutments. The scanner used in the laboratory setting was the S900 ARTI (Zirkonzahn GmbH, Gais, Italy). ICX scan bodies (medentis medical GmbH, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Germany) and the ‘Modellier ‘ software, as well as watercolors by Zirkonzahn GmbH (Gais, Italy) were used. As synthetic material for the prototypes, Temp Basic (Zirkonzahn GmbH, Gais, Italy) PMMA material was usedBack to article page
