RESTORATIVE OPTIONS

Implant Solutions for Different Clinical Requirements

Each case is designed according to implant position, restorative space, tissue contour, screw-access location, occlusion and the prescribing clinicianโ€™s instructions.

TITANIUM INTERFACE

Ti-Base Zirconia Crown

A zirconia restoration designed around a system-specific titanium base selected for the implant connection and restorative space.

  • Compatible interface selection
  • Extraoral bonding workflow
  • Implant- or abutment-level options
  • Component compatibility review

ASC

ACCESS OPTIMIZATION

Angulated Screw Channel

An angulated screw-channel option may help redirect the access opening when implant trajectory affects esthetics or function.

  • System and component dependent
  • Useful in selected anterior cases
  • Evaluated during digital design
  • Dedicated driver may be required

MULTI-UNIT

Screw-Retained Implant Bridge

Short-span zirconia implant bridges designed according to implant distribution, insertion path and restorative component availability.

  • Short-span bridge options
  • Multiple titanium interfaces
  • Restorative-space evaluation
  • Fit and insertion-path review

ALTERNATIVE WORKFLOW

Custom Abutment + Crown

A separate crown and custom titanium abutment may be selected when implant angulation or restorative contour requires another approach.

  • Patient-specific abutment contour
  • Customized margin position
  • Case-dependent retrievability
  • Cement management required

COMPONENT SUPPORT

Implant Component Review

Contact the laboratory when the implant brand, platform, scanbody, titanium base or restorative driver is uncertain.

  • Implant platform confirmation
  • Scanbody and library review
  • Titanium-base selection support
  • Direct laboratory communication

RESTORATION SELECTION

Why Screw-Retained When Clinically Appropriate?

Screw-retained restorations provide retrievability and eliminate an intraoral cement margin. Final selection remains case dependent.

SCREW-RETAINED Retrievable

Zirconia Crown on Titanium Base

Commonly selected when the screw-access opening can be positioned in a clinically acceptable location.

CEMENT-RETAINED Case Dependent

Crown on Custom Abutment

May be selected when screw-access position or restorative contour favours a separate crown and abutment.

Final restorative selection and clinical use remain the prescribing clinicianโ€™s responsibility.

DESIGN PRIORITIES

Designed Beyond the Implant Connection

A successful implant restoration requires coordinated control of the tissue-zone contour, screw access, restorative clearance and occlusion.

01

Emergence Profile

Tissue-zone contour is developed from the submitted scan and implant depth to support a natural transition.

02

Screw-Access Position

Access position is reviewed relative to anatomy, esthetics and available angulated-channel components.

03

Restorative Clearance

Zirconia thickness, titanium-base height and opposing clearance are evaluated during CAD design.

04

Occlusal Design

Contacts and anatomy are designed from the submitted opposing arch, bite record and prescription.

DIGITAL IMPLANT WORKFLOW

From Scanbody Records to Final Restoration

Complete implant identification and accurate records help support proper component selection and predictable fabrication.

01

Submit Records

Send the working arch, scanbody scan, tissue scan, opposing arch, bite and prescription.

02

Verify Components

Implant brand, connection, platform, scanbody library and titanium base are reviewed.

03

CAD Design

Emergence profile, anatomy, contacts, occlusion and screw access are designed digitally.

04

Fabrication

The zirconia restoration is milled, sintered, finished and characterized.

05

Bonding

The restoration is bonded extraorally to the compatible titanium interface.

06

Quality Control

Seating, contacts, occlusion, finish and case information are reviewed before delivery.

CASE RECORD OPTIONS

Digital and Conventional Workflows Accepted

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Implant Crown Case Information

Can I send a conventional implant impression?

Yes. Submit the implant impression with the correct coping and analog, opposing model, bite record, implant identification and prescription.

Can you provide the titanium base?

Availability depends on the implant system, restorative platform and selected workflow. Provide full implant information for review.

Can you make an angulated screw-channel crown?

Angulated screw-channel options are available for selected systems and components. A compatible driver may be required.

Do you accept digital implant scans?

Yes. Submit the complete working arch, scanbody scan, tissue scan, opposing arch, bite record and implant component information.

Can you make implant-supported bridges?

Yes. Short-span screw-retained bridges can be evaluated according to implant distribution, component availability and restorative space.

What if the implant system is unknown?

Send the implant label, radiograph, clinical photographs and any available component information before production begins.

Clinical responsibility: The prescribing clinician is responsible for diagnosis, restorative selection, component approval, clinical torque, occlusal adjustment and all treatment decisions.
