It's now time for change

I have always been frustrated that many of the popular implant systems do not allow flexibility of abutment design unless you buy a gold non oxidising abutment and then cast onto it. This technique works fine but is time consuming, costly and you still have the end result with gold sub gingivally although acceptable it is not the best material for this situation. Stock machined abutments are limited in design and do not follow gingival contours, as most have a flat horizontal contour.
I am sooooooo happy that now I can create an abutment to suit any contour and have this produced in titanium for the most popular systems in Australia. This saves time , thus money and is clinically more acceptable than gold sub gingivally.
NobelProcera now allows me to create via cad cam technology abutments for :
Astra - all platforms, Straumann - All platforms and of course Nobel- All platforms. Soon others will be introduced.
How exciting is this to be able to create a totally contoured abutment for any case and for most platforms in biocompatible titanium and at a cost effective price. ie cheaper than a stock modified abutment. i think a major step forward in technology.
