Hybrid­abutment­

The hybrid abutment is an individually pressed 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.

Individual­esthetics­­
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.

Flexibility­due­to­laboratory­fabrication
The pressed LS

2

 abutment is extraorally luted to a Ti base with Multilink Implant, then screwed into 

place in the oral cavity and finally provided with a permanent IPS e.max crown. As the hybrid abutment 
is conveniently fabricated in the lab, the process is time-saving and flexible.

Hybrid­abutment­crown

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. 

Efficient­fabrication­due­to­two-in-one­approach­
LS

2

 glass-ceramics provide for strength, durability and efficiency, particularly in the posterior area. 

Moreover, the material offers well-known esthetic properties allowing restorations to be simply 
characterized with IPS e.max Ceram stains. 

Luted­extraorally,­screwed­in­intraorally­–­for­improved­flexibility
The monolithically pressed hybrid abutment crown is reliably luted to the Ti base by means of Multilink 
Implant. Then, the restoration is screwed onto the implant – in one piece. Thus, the bothersome task of 
excess cement removal is a thing of the past. 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 clincial flexibility.

New­possibilities­for­economically­efficient­restorations­
IPS e.max Press hybrid abutment crowns are a new, economically attractive alternative to conventional 
implant-supported restorations, particularly for the posterior area, where strength, durability and con-
venient clinical handling matter.

Press ceramics have been synonymous with esthetics, accuracy of fit, shape and function for decades. The IPS e.max Press lithium disilicate 
(LS

2

) glass-ceramic additionally offers an outstanding strength of 400 MPa. The already extensive indication range from thin veneers (0.3 mm) 

and monolithic molar crowns to anterior and premolar bridges is now expanded to include hybrid abutment restorations. 

With IPS e.max Press, you can fabricate such restorations in combination with a titanium base (Ti base). Two different approaches are available:
– Hybrid abutment and separate crown     
– 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 Implant luting composite.
