Careful preparation of the bonding surface is a requisite for the successful adhesive cementation of the base and the
ceramic structure. The following paragraphs outline the required procedures. The procedure is the same for hybrid
abutments and hybrid abutment crowns.

Preparation of the base
The following procedure should be observed in the preparation of the base for the cementation with
the ceramic structure:
– The base should be prepared according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
– The base is cleaned in an ultrasonic bath or with a steam cleaner and then dried with blown air.
– The base is screwed on the model analog.
– The ceramic structure is placed on the base and the relative position of the components is marked with a water-
proof pen. This facilitates locating the correct position when the parts are assembled at a later stage.
