Uses
Indications
– Hybrid abutments for anterior and posterior single-tooth restora-
tions
– Hybrid abutment crowns for anterior and posterior restorations
Contraindications
– Failure to observe the requirements stipulated by the implant man-
ufacturer for using the selected implant type (diameter and length 
of the implant must be approved for the respective position in the 
jaw by the implant manufacturer) 
– Failure to observe the permissible maximum and minimum ceramic
wall thicknesses
– Parafunctions (e.g. bruxism) 
– Use of a luting composite other than Multilink
®
Hybrid Abutment
to lute IPS e.max CAD to the Ti base
– Intraoral adhesion of the ceramic structures to the Ti base 
– Temporary cementation of the crown on the hybrid abutment 
– All uses not stated as indications are contraindicated. 
Important processing restrictions
– Do not mill the blocks with non-compatible CAD/CAM systems.
– If hybrid abutment crowns are fabricated, the opening of the 
screw channel must not be located in the area of contact points. If 
this is not possible, a hybrid abutment with a separate crown 
should be preferred.
– Combination with materials other than IPS e.max Ceram or
IPS e.max CAD Crystall./ materials
– Crystallization in a non-recommended ceramic furnace 
– Crystallization in a non-calibrated ceramic furnace 
– Crystallization in a high-temperature furnace (e.g. Programat
®
S1)
– Crystallization with deviating firing parameters
– Failure to observe the manufacturer's instructions regarding the 
processing of the Ti base.
Side effects
If the patient is known to be allergic to any of the components, 
IPS e.max CAD and the other materials necessary for the fabrication 
should not be used.

– IPS Ceramic Etching Gel
 Components: Hydrofluoric acid (approx. 5%)
Warning
– Do not inhale ceramic dust during finishing. Use exhaust air
discharge and mouth protection.
– IPS Ceramic Etching Gel contains hydrofluoric acid. Contact with
skin, eyes and clothing must be prevented at all costs, since the 
material is extremely toxic and corrosive. The etching gel is 
 intended for extraoral use only and must not be applied intraorally 
(inside the mouth).
