Custom Abutments

I don't think it is common knowledge that a custom abutment can be produced in titanium for a comparable price to a machined off the shelf abutment that needs to be modified to suit the case requirements.
A NobelProcera abutment can be created via cad cam and then produced in my region for a more competitive price than an off the shelf abutment.
To have titanium sub gingivally and then a coping which stays within the parameters of standard crown and bridge protocols is to me the most ideal situation. To many times we try to create restorations that exceed the technical parameters of the materials we have at hand
Thermal expansion of alloys and it's reaction to the bonded porcelain are always a concern
Do we need theses problems!!!!
to be continued!
