Description
IPS e.max ® CAD Abutment Solutions are CAD/CAM-fabricated, implant-supported hybrid
restorations for single teeth. These hybrid restorations are individually fabricated of lithium
disilicate glass-ceramics (LS
2
) and cemented onto a titanium base (Ti base).
Two different approaches are available:
– IPS e.max CAD hybrid abutment and separate IPS e.max CAD crown
– IPS e.max CAD hybrid abutment crown
Both solutions show outstanding function, efficiency and esthetics. The durable bond to the Ti base is
achieved by means of the self-curing Multilink
® Hybrid Abutment luting composite.
Hybrid abutment
The hybrid abutment is an individually milled LS
2
abutment which is luted to the Ti base. The shape,
emergence profile and esthetic properties of this abutment can be ideally adjusted to
the clinical situation.
Given the lifelike appearance of LS
2
glass-ceramics, the esthetic possibilities are virtually
limitless, particularly in the anterior region. Due to the individual characterization, a
lifelike appearance is achieved near the root and the transition area to the crown. With
the preparation margin of the crown located on the gingival level, the geometry of the
hybrid abutments allows for an easy integration of the restoration. Excess cementation
material is therefore easily removed.
The milled and crystallized LS
2
ceramic structure is extraorally luted to a Ti base with
Multilink Hybrid Abutment, then screwed into place in the oral cavity and finally pro-
vided with a permanent IPS e.max CAD crown. Given the convenient fabrication of the
hybrid abutment, the process is time-saving and flexible.
Hybrid abutment crown
Hybrid abutment crowns are characterized by combining abutment and monolithic
crown in one piece. This is an efficient two-in-one solution made of lithium disilicate
(LS
2
), which is directly luted to a Ti base.
LS
2
glass-ceramics provide for strength, durability and efficiency, particularly in the
posterior region. Moreover, the material offers well-known esthetic properties, allowing
restorations to be simply characterized with IPS e.max Ceram stains.
The monolithically milled hybrid abutment crown is reliably and extraorally luted to the
Ti base by means of Multilink Hyrid Abutment. Then, the restoration is screwed onto
the implant – in one piece. Subsequently, the screw access channel is sealed with a
composite material (e.g. Tetric EvoCeram
® ). If required, the screw can be accessed at
any time, which affords the dental team clinical flexibility.
IPS e.max CAD hybrid abutment crowns are a new, economically attractive alternative to conventional
implant-supported restorations, particularly for the posterior region, where strength, durability and
convenient clinical handling matter.
Ideally coordinated – Multilink ® Hybrid Abutment
The self-curing luting composite Multilink Hybrid Abutment in conjunction with Monobond ® Plus is used
for the permanent cementation of ceramic structures made of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LS
2
) or
zirconium oxide (ZrO
2
) onto bases (e.g. abutment or adhesive base) of titanium/titanium alloy.
This allows
– reliable adhesion due to high bonding values
– optimum esthetics due to two available degrees of opacity
– easy handling due to the convenient Automix syringe
